Dough Ingredients

Oil for Frying

Method

Preparing the Batter

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well mixed.

  2. 2

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, beat the eggs. Add the milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter. Mix until smooth.

  3. 3

    Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures

    Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.

Cooking the Sweet Fry or Waffle

  1. 4

    Prepare the Frying Oil

    In a deep skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping a small amount of batter into it; it should sizzle immediately.

  2. 5

    Fry the Batter

    Using a tablespoon or small cup, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  3. 6

    Waffle Option

    Alternatively, for waffles, preheat your waffle iron. Pour the batter into the preheated waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions until golden brown and crisp.

Serving

  1. 7

    Plate and Garnish

    Serve the sweet fries or waffles warm. Drizzle with maple syrup, and top with fresh berries, a dusting of powdered sugar, and whipped cream.
