Instructions: 1) In large bowl on low speed mix milk, sugar, oil, eggs, baking powder, salt, and 1 cup of the flour. scrape bowl constantly and mix only about 30 seconds until combined. Increase speed to medium and continue mixing for 2 minutes scraping bowl as needed.

2. Stir in remaining flour and fruit ( if using fruit )

3. In a high sided fryer heat 2-3 inches of oil. drop batter by teaspoonsfull into hot oil. as the puffs rise turn them. fry for about 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels or brown bags( these are best if avail )

4. roll puffs in sugar mixture before serving.

Note: at my house we always drained fried foods on brown paper grocery bags on a cookie sheet in the oven at 200- 250 degrees and they are never greasy- this works for all fried Chanukah foods.
