- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- ¾ cup milk
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
- Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat until it reaches around 350°F.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture is crumbly.

- Remove and drain on paper towels.

- Don’t overcrowd the pan while frying.
