Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 cup milk (non-dairy milks could easily be subbed here)
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract or a small scraping of fresh vanilla bean seeds
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse or kosher salt
- Oil for deep-fat frying (I needed about 1 1/2 cups for an 9-inch skillet)
- Confectioners’ sugar to finish
Instructions:
- Are you going to use a funnel? If so, check to make sure your batter is the right consistency to fall through by holding it over your bowl and ladling a little in. I was using one with a 1/2-inch opening and my batter was a tad thick. If yours is, whisk in extra water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it’s right. You might need 2 or 3.
- Are you going to use a plastic bag with the corner snipped off? Don’t worry about it then, you can always cut the hole a little bigger if the batter doesn’t fall through easily.
