- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For Frying:

Instructions:
- Prepare the Dough:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Let the batter rest for 10-15 minutes.
- Heat the Oil:
- In a deep fryer or a heavy-bottomed pan, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
