Preparation Steps
1
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder until evenly combined.
2
In another bowl, whisk the eggs, then add the milk and melted butter. Mix until smooth.
3
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a soft, non-sticky dough forms.
4
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 3 mm (⅛ inch) thick. Cut into long, wavy strips.
5
In a medium-sized pot, heat the oil to 340-355°F (170-180°C). The oil is ready when a small piece of dough slowly sizzles in it.
6
Fry the dough strips until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
7
While still warm, dust generously with powdered sugar and serve immediately for the crispiest texture.
