Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or saucepan, heat 2 inches of vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). -
Make the Batter
In a bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, whisk egg, milk, and vanilla. Combine wet and dry ingredients until smooth. -
Fry the Bites
Drop spoonfuls (about 1 tablespoon each) of batter into hot oil. Fry for 1–2 minutes per side, until golden brown. -

Use a slotted spoon to remove bites and drain on paper towels. While warm, dust generously with powdered sugar. -
