Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar heaping
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 tsp instant yeast heaping
- Optional: 1/4 ground cinnamon
- 3 eggs room temperature
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- ¾ cup milk between 110 to 115 F
- Oil for deep frying, about 2 inches
Instructions
- Add flour, sugar, salt, yeast, and cinnamon, if using, to a large bowl and mix thoroughly.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract to a small bowl and whisk gently (you just want to break up the eggs and get them mixed with the extract).
- Make a well in the center of the flour mixture, pour in the eggs and milk, and stir to mix and make a smooth, thick batter.
- Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 and 1/2 hours or until the mixture has more than doubled in quantity.
- Add oil to a deep frying pan and heat on medium heat until oil is hot (350 F).
- Working with 2 tablespoons, scoop and drop the batter into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pan. Let fry for 1 minute until nicely browned all over.
- Remove using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- Serve warm with a generous drizzle of homemade syrup.
