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.

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.

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!
