Method
Whisk the flour, baking powder, salt and granulated sugar together in a bowl.
Whisk in the egg, whole milk and vanilla extract until you have a smooth, pourable batter.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep, heavy-bottomed pot to 190°C, checking the temperature with a meat thermometer.
Pour a swirled, overlapping pattern of the batter into the hot oil using a funnel, and fry until golden and crisp on the underside.
Carefully flip and fry the other side until golden and crisp.
Lift out with a slotted spoon, drain on a wire rack and dust generously with icing sugar.
