One tablespoon of dried yeast. 2 ½ cups of warm water, not hot. One tablespoon of sugar. 3/4 cup powdered milk.
1/3 cup canola oil plus 3 tablespoons for frying. Two huge eggs. One tablespoon of vanilla. Three cups of sifted flour.
Dissolve the yeast in warm water along with the sugar. Allow it to prove for about five minutes so that the yeast may feed on the sugar. The water will contain some foam.
Add the remaining ingredients and beat with an electric mixer until the batter is smooth.
Place in a 2-quart lidded container or casserole dish and refrigerate for at least eight hours or overnight.
The next morning, whisk or fork the batter before weighing it out by tablespoonfuls or in a tiny measuring cup to the appropriate size.
Prior to frying, heat three tablespoons of oil. Top with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup or fruit sauce. ENJOY!
