How to Make Deep Fried Dessert Thingys
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour in 1 cup milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 large egg, and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil.
- Whisk until a smooth batter forms.
- Heat 2 cups vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C) in a deep fryer or large, heavy-bottomed pot. Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature.
- Test the oil temperature by dropping a small amount of batter into the hot oil; it should sizzle and rise to the surface immediately.
- Butter one side of each slice of 8-10 slices of bread (using about 2 tablespoons of butter).
- Sprinkle ½ cup brown sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon evenly over the buttered side of the bread.
- Make sandwiches by pairing two slices of bread with the cinnamon sugar mixture facing inward.
- Cut each sandwich into four equal quarters.
- Dip each bread quarter into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated.
- Carefully place the battered bread bites into the hot oil using tongs, ensuring not to overcrowd the fryer. Fry in batches if necessary.
- Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Watch closely to prevent burning.
- Remove the bread bites from the oil and place them on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
- Sprinkle generously with powdered sugar while still warm.
- Serve immediately and enjoy! These are best served fresh.
