Instructions: These are made by Israeli cooks as a quick substitute for yeast-leavened doughnuts. They are ready in minutes & taste good, but are not as light as the yeast version.

Sift flour with baking powder. Combine eggs, sugar, oil, water or milk, salt & vanilla in a bowl & whisk until smooth. Add flour mixture & mix to a smooth, thick batter.

Heat oil to 350 or until it bubbles gently around a piece of dough added to it. Slide mixture gently into oil by rounded tablespoons for large ones or by teaspoons for small ones. If mixture doesnt easily come off the spoon, dip another spoon in the oil & use it to push the dough off. Fry 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

Serve hot or warm, sprinkled with confectioners sugar.
