Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Drop spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, frying until golden brown on both sides (about 2-3 minutes per side).
Remove fritters and drain on paper towels.
For the brandy sauce: In a saucepan, combine brandy, heavy cream, and vanilla extract.
Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce slightly thickens (about 5-7 minutes). Do not boil.
