Description

Fair food at its finest: rustic drizzles of batter fried to perfection and coated in sugar and toppings of your choice.


Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • peanut or canola oil for frying

Topping ideas

  • powdered sugar
  • cinnamon-sugar
  • maple syrup and bacon crumbles
  • fruit jam
  • chocolate sauce
  • chopped fruit and whipped cream.

Instructions

  1. Heat oil to 375 degrees. You’ll need at least about 3-4 inches of oil, which will vary in amount depending on the size of pot or deep fryer you are using.
  2. Place all ingredients in a blender and blend, OR combine dry ingredients in a bowl and wet ingredients in a glass measuring bowl and slowly add wet to dry while whisking to avoid lumps. Mix until smooth.
  3. When oil reaches temperature, drizzle batter in a steady stream directly into the oil. Make a circle pattern and then just drizzle it all over. Fry until golden brown on bottom and then give it a quick flip. When both sides are lightly golden, remove from oil using long heavy tongs or fork and either dredge immediately in cinnamon-sugar or dust with powdered sugar and other desired toppings. Serve immediately!
