Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour

- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, mix the milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter, whisking until smooth.

- Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
