Canola oil for frying

Instructions

In a large bowl whisk together egg, oil, butter, vanilla extract, milk and sugar (if using)
Gently stir in flour, baking powder and salt.
Stir until flour is combined. Batter will and should be a little bit lumpy.
Heat oil on med-high in a deep skillet.
When oil is hot, do a test by dropping a bit of batter into the oil. (The batter should begin to fry calmly instantly. If it smokes, sputters or browns quickly the oil is too hot)
Use a mini ice cream scoop and scoop out the batter and drop it into the oil. (work quickly and be careful not to crowd the batter)
