Fried Dough Bite Treats (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 1/4 cup milk
02 - 3/4 cup plain flour
03 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
04 - 1 egg
05 - 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
06 - 1 tablespoon water
07 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
08 - 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
09 - Oil for frying
10 - Optional: powdered sugar for sprinkling on top

# Instructions:

01 - Pour enough frying oil (like canola) into a pan to make it 1 inch deep. Start heating it over medium heat while you whip up the batter.
02 - In a bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder so everything’s mixed well.
03 - Toss the egg, milk, vanilla, and water into the same bowl. Stir until it’s all smooth and lump-free.
04 - Leave the batter alone for 5 minutes while the oil keeps warming up.
05 - Scoop some batter with a dinner spoon and carefully slide it into the hot oil. Fry 5-7 pieces at a time, flipping after 15-30 seconds on one side, until both sides are golden brown.
06 - Use a slotted spoon to take the fried pieces out. Put them on paper towels to soak up extra grease. Sprinkle on powdered sugar if you want, then eat while warm.

# Notes:

01 - Top them off with ice cream, whipped cream, or drizzle chocolate sauce for extra yum.
