Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and sugar until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then mix in the milk and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Heat a deep skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom of the pan.
- Once the oil is hot, use a spoon or ice cream scoop to drop batter into the hot oil. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown.
- Remove fritters from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- While still warm, dust the fritters generously with powdered sugar and serve immediately.
