Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt.
- Make a well in the center of the flour mixture, and pour in milk, vanilla, egg and 2 tablespoons oil.
- Mix until smooth.
- Heat remaining vegetable oil to 400 degrees in a small deep fryer (a quart sized sauce pan will do in a pinch).
- Oil is hot enough when it starts to ripple.
- Be careful not to overheat.
- Butter one side of each bread slice.
- Sprinkle the brown sugar and cinnamon evenly onto the buttered side of the bread slices.
- Make sandwiches by placing the slices of bread together with the brown sugar on the inside.
- Cut the sandwiches into quarters.
- Now is a good time to test the oil by dropping in a very small amount of batter.
- Batter should sizzle and brown in about 20 seconds.
- Oil needs to be hot enough to melt the brown sugar inside the sandwiches but not so hot that it scorches the batter.
- Dip the sandwiches into the batter mixture.
- Using deep fryer tongs, carefully place the battered sandwiches into the heated oil.
- Be cautious when deep frying.
- Try to avoid burns from splattering hot oil.
- Remove Sandwiches from the oil when they are golden brown.
- Set aside to cool for a couple of minutes.
- Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve.
