Ingredients
Approximately 5 cups vegetable oil
1/2
cup sugar (to coat the doughnuts)
Deep-fryer
or large, heavy pan
Directions
1.
Beat the eggs in a mixer or food processor until well beaten. Add the sugar and beat again. Mix in the milk. Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a measuring cup or separate bowl and add it to the mixture. Add the vanilla and beat the mixture until it is well blended.
2.
Heat the oil in a heavy pan or deep fryer. Drop heaping tablespoonfuls of the dough into the oil, about three or four at a time. Fry the doughnuts, turning them once until they are golden brown on each side. Remove them from the oil with a slotted spoon. Pour the sugar into the paper bag and then place the doughnuts in the bag. (The bag helps to absorb some of the grease.) Shake the bag until the doughnuts are thoroughly coated. Remove the doughnuts from the bag and allow to cool (so you don't burn your fingers) on a cooling rack. Enjoy!
