   - 1 1/2 cups flour

   - 1/4 cup sugar

In heavy skillet, heat:

Set out paper towels to drain the fried fritters.

To fry the fritters, drop about 1/4 cup batter into hot oil, spreading it out as you drop it. Cook about 2 minutes and turn to cook the other side for 2 more minutes. Allow to drain on paper towels.

Set out wire racks with additional paper towels underneath.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the glaze using:

   - 2 cups powdered sugar

   - 1/4 cup milk

   - 1/2 tsp vanilla

Dip each fritter into the glaze, turning to get all sides. Place on wire racks to dry and drip.
