1/4 cup butter, melted
1 egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Directions

Get out a skillet that's at least 2 1/2" deep; a 10" electric frying pan is a great choice, if you have one. Fill it with about 1" of vegetable oil, peanut oil preferred for best flavor.

Use a high-walled skillet or large saucepan and fill it with 1" of oil. Heat oil to 350 degrees F.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.

In a separate bowl, whisk together lukewarm milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla.

Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.

Use a melon scoop to scoop out balls of dough and drop into the hot oil.

Fry for 1-2 minutes on first side, or until golden brown. Turn and fry for an additional 1-2 minutes on other side. Transfer to plate lined with paper towel or brown paper to drain and cool.
