Ingredients
- 2 quarts oil for frying
- 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup white sugar
- ¼ cup firmly packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Heat oil in a deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Step 2
Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt together onto a piece of waxed paper.
Step 3
In a large bowl, beat sugar, brown sugar, and eggs with an electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy. Beat in 2 tablespoon oil. Stir flour mixture into egg mixture, alternately with milk, beginning and ending with dry ingredients, until well blended. Stir in applesauce and vanilla.
Step 4
Carefully drop batter by level tablespoons, 3 or 4 at a time, into the hot oil; do not overcrowd the pan or the oil may overflow. Fry, turning once with tongs, for 3 minutes or until golden. Transfer with tongs to paper towels to drain. Cool completely before eating.
