Ingredients 

  • 1 cup milk
  • 4 large eggs
  • 4 tablespoons water
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Fill the instant pot with oil until 2 inches deep. Set to sauté and to use a candy thermometer, bring the temperature to 350. It may take 20-30 minutes.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla, and water.
  • Whisk in sugar, salt, and baking powder
  • Mix in flour until batter forms
  • Once oil comes to temperature, pour batter into a gallon-sized zip-lock bag and cut a small corner off. A piping bag can be used.
  • Squeeze batter into the oil piping in random directions and layered over itself. Leave room for the batter to expand. Cook for 5 minutes on one side, flip and cook for another 5 minutes.
  • Remove and place on a paper towel to cool and dry.
  • Dust with powdered sugar. Optional drizzle with favor sauce.
  • Plate, serve, and enjoy!
