Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1½ tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/3 cup milk
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
Vegetable or canola oil, for frying

Cinnamon sugar
Simple glaze (powdered sugar + milk)
Instructions
Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
Add the Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then stir in the milk and vanilla. Pour into dry ingredients and mix until just combined. The batter should be thick.
Heat the Oil
Pour oil into a deep pan or pot and heat over medium to 350°F (use a thermometer if possible).
Fry the Fritters
Drop small spoonfuls (or use a cookie scoop) into hot oil. Fry for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown.
Drain & Finish
Remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain. While still warm, dust with powdered sugar or roll in cinnamon sugar.
