Ingredients

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder

2 large eggs room temperature
2 cups milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Vegetable Oil for frying, about 1 inch thick in a heavy-bottomed pot

For Serving

powdered sugar for dusting after frying
Chocolate sauce or white chocolate sauce
Strawberry sauce
Caramel sauce or salted caramel sauce

Instructions

Heat about 1 inch of oil in a heavy-bottomed deep pot on medium heat.
Prepare a plate lined with a paper towel and set it aside.
In a large bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until combined.
In a medium-deep bowl whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract.
Slowly combine the wet and dry mixtures to create a smooth batter with no lumps.
Transfer the batter to a squeeze bottle or batter dispenser.
When the oil has reached 375 degrees, carefully pipe the batter in strips into the hot oil. (Try not to overcrowd the pot).

Notes

Mix until smooth: The batter should be lump-free and pour easily in a ribbon.
Keep oil hot: Maintain the oil heat around 375°F for crisp, evenly cooked fries.
Don’t overcrowd: Fry in small batches to keep the fries light and crispy.
Use a squeeze bottle or piping bag: Hold about an inch above the oil for straight fries, higher for curly ones.
Dust while warm: Powdered sugar sticks best right after frying.
