Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.25 cup Milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 2 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
• 0.5 cup Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.

Step 3

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.

Step 4

Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/4 inch.

Step 5

Using a round cookie cutter or the rim of a glass, cut out circles from the dough. Gather scraps, re-roll, and cut as needed.

Step 6

In a deep pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by placing a small piece of dough in it; if it sizzles and turns golden, the oil is ready.

Step 7

Carefully add a few dough circles to the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 8

Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried cookies from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 9

Once slightly cooled, dust the fried cookies generously with powdered sugar.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy your Fried Bread Cookies!
