- 2 ¼ cups flour
- ⅓ cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Oil for frying
Heat 2 inches of oil to 350 F in a large heavy-bottom pan, leaving at least 2 inches of space from oil to the top of the pan
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt until fully combined
Whisk in the milk, eggs and vanilla extract until smooth, mixture should be like thick pancake batter
Fill a piping bag with batter, then quickly pipe 4-5 small parallel tubes into the hot oil, and allow to cook 2-3 minutes or until golden on all sides, you will have to rotate them in the hot oil as they cook to get all sides since they start to float
Remove from oil and drain on a paper towel lined plate
Repeat until all batter has been used
Serve warm with marshmallow fluff, warm jam and a sprinkle of powdered sugar on top
- The batter will be similar to a thick pancake batter when you are ready to fry it.
- Make sure you rotate the fries while they cook since they start to float.
- Don't skip draining them. They will be a bit soggy if you don't drain the excess oil off.
