• Oil for frying

Directions

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, combine the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk well to combine.
3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms.
4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for a few minutes until smooth.
