In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt.
Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to blend the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles fine crumbs.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add the whole milk. Mix until well combined.
Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture and stir until a soft dough forms.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.
Roll out the dough to about 1/8-inch thickness and cut it into desired shapes using a pastry cutter or a knife.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large pot to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully fry the dough pieces in batches, turning them occasionally, until they are golden brown, approximately 2 to 3 minutes.
Remove the fried pastries from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
While the pastries are still warm, sift powdered sugar over them for a sweet finish.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your nut-free classic fried pastries!
