   Heat about 3 inches of oil in a deep heavy pot, fitted with a deep-frying thermometer, to 365 degrees F.

2. 2

3. 3

   Fold in the flour, a little at a time, until just combined.

4. 4

   Working in batches to avoid crowing the pot, drop heaping teaspoons of the batter into the hot oil.

5. 5

   Fry until golden brown, turning as needed to brown evenly, about 1 to 2 minutes.

6. 6

   Drain on paper towels and dust with confectioners' sugar and a pinch of salt.

7. 7

   Arrange them on a serving dish and enjoy!

8. 8

   Cook's Note: Be sure to let the oil return to 365 degrees F between batches.
