Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
• 1 cup milk
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• Oil for frying
• Powdered sugar for dusting

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2. Add the cold cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the milk and vanilla extract. Stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the dough will be slightly lumpy.
4. Heat oil in a deep, heavy pot or deep fryer to 375°F (190°C).
5. Drop rounded spoonfuls of the dough into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
6. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked puff-balls to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
7. Dust the warm puff-balls generously with powdered sugar. Serve immediately and enjoy!
