Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Step 1: Prepare the Batter: Beat 2 large eggs until foamy, then combine with 1 cup of milk and 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract, whisk until smooth.
  2. Step 2: Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 cup of sugar until no lumps remain.
  3. Step 3: Make the Batter: Gradually add wet mixture to dry ingredients, stirring gently until smooth and well incorporated.

  5. Step 5: Drain and Dust: Remove bites from oil and allow to drain on paper towels. Dust with powdered sugar while still warm.
