How to Make Tippaleivt May Day Fritters

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and melted butter until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Transfer the batter to a pastry bag fitted with a large round tip (or a ziploc bag with a corner snipped off).
Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Pipe small balls of batter into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot.
Fry the fritters for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fritters from the oil with a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
Dust the warm fritters with powdered sugar and serve immediately. Enjoy!
