Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 0.75 cups Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 3 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
• 0.5 cups Powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar.

Step 2

In another small bowl, mix the warm water, olive oil, and vanilla extract.

Step 3

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.

Step 4

Knead the dough lightly for about 2 minutes on a floured surface until it becomes smooth.

Step 5

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 10 minutes.

Step 6

Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot to 350°F (175°C). It's best to use a thermometer to ensure the oil is at the correct temperature.

Step 7

While the oil is heating, divide the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.

Step 8

Carefully drop a few balls at a time into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan, and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to turn them as needed.

Step 9

Remove the fried dough balls with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 10

While still warm, dust the fried dough balls with powdered sugar using a sieve or sifter.

Step 11

Serve warm and enjoy!
