Total Time
1 hour
Servings
25–30 kal kals
2 cups (280 g) white wheat flour
1 egg
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ cup (120 g) powdered sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup (120 ml) oil
Combine flour, egg, baking powder, powdered sugar, and vanilla to make a moist but not sticky dough.
Flatten teaspoon-sized balls of dough on the back of a fork (preferably with rounded tines) and roll off, forming small snail-shell-like curls.
Deep fry in hot oil (~350°F/180°C), six at a time, until golden brown.
Roll in more powdered sugar while still hot to coat.
