• 1 tablespoon water
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

3. Add the flour, and whisk until completely smooth. Set aside.
4. In a medium, deep-sided pan or pot, heat 1" of oil to 375°F over medium-high heat. When you put the end of a wooden spoon in the pot and bubbles form around the spoon, it's ready. Reduce heat to medium.

6. Dust with 2 tablespoons powdered sugar and serve. Repeat one more time with the remaining batter.
