Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 4 cups Neutral oil for frying, such as vegetable or canola
- 0 as needed Powdered sugar for dusting
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then stir in the milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter until the mixture is smooth.
Step 3
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth batter forms. The batter should be thick but spoonable.
Step 4
In a large, deep pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature.
Step 5
Using a small cookie scoop or two spoons, carefully drop rounded tablespoons of batter into the hot oil, frying only a few at a time to avoid overcrowding.
Step 6
Fry the dough balls for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through, turning them halfway through frying.
Step 7
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried dough balls and drain them on paper towels.
Step 8
Repeat the frying process with the remaining batter.
Step 9
Allow the fried dough balls to cool slightly, then dust them with powdered sugar before serving warm. Enjoy your gluten-free classic fried dough balls!
