Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Granulated white sugar
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 units Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 2 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
• 0.5 cup Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.

Step 3

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 4

Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.

Step 5

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep saucepan or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).

Step 6

Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, carefully drop portions of dough into the hot oil. Fry in small batches to avoid overcrowding.

Step 7

Cook the Tim Bits for 3-4 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 8

Remove the Tim Bits from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Step 9

While still warm, dust the Tim Bits with powdered sugar or roll them in it.

Step 10

Serve warm or allow to cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
