Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 3 cups vegetable oil
- 0.25 cup powdered sugar
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well mixed.
Step 2
In a separate small bowl, mix the unsweetened almond milk, vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar. Stir the mixture well and then let it sit for about 5 minutes to slightly thicken.
Step 3
Slowly pour the almond milk mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring continuously to form a smooth and thick batter. Make sure there are no lumps.
Step 4
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium heat, ensuring the oil is about 2 inches deep. The oil is ready for frying when it reaches 350°F (175°C), or when a small piece of dough sizzles and floats to the surface when dropped into the oil.
Step 5
Using a tablespoon, scoop out portions of the dough and gently drop them into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pot; fry in batches if necessary.
Step 6
Fry the dough balls for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to turn them for even cooking.
Step 7
Once cooked, carefully remove the dough balls from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 8
When slightly cooled, dust the fried dough balls with powdered sugar for serving.
Step 9
Serve warm with additional powdered sugar or maple syrup, if desired.
