Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
  • Optional: 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (for coating)

Instructions

  1. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  3. Combine: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
