Instructions

• Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
• Whisk eggs, milk, and vanilla in a second bowl, then stir the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until a thick, smooth batter forms.
• Heat oil in a deep, heavy pot to 350°F, using a thermometer to monitor the temperature.
• Drop rounded tablespoons of batter into the oil in small batches, leaving space between bites.
• Fry for 2 to 3 minutes, turning once, until puffed and golden brown.
• Transfer bites to a paper-towel-lined rack and repeat with remaining batter.
• Dust generously with powdered sugar and serve warm.
