Ingredients:

120g sugar
250g plain flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
500ml oil for frying
20g vanilla sugar

Method:

Heat the oil in a deep fryer or a wok to about 180°C.

Sift the flour and baking powder into a bowl then stir in the sugar.

Work in enough water to give a soft but not sticky dough. Turn out onto a floured work surface and knead until smooth and elastic. Shape the resultant dough into balls then drop in the hot oil and fry for 4 minutes, or until golden brown all over and cooked through.

Drain on kitchen paper, dust with vanilla sugar and serve.
