Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a medium saucepan, combine 0.5 cup milk, 0.25 cup sugar, 2 tbsp butter, and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Heat over medium until butter melts and sugar dissolves, about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  2. Step 2

    Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes. Whisk in 1 cup flour and 2 eggs until smooth batter forms, about 1 minute.

  3. Step 3

    Heat 2 cups vegetable oil in a deep pot to 350°F (175°C). Drop tablespoonfuls of batter into hot oil, frying in batches without crowding, until golden brown and puffed, about 3-4 minutes per batch.

  4. Step 4

    Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. While still warm, roll each ball in 1 cup rainbow sprinkles until fully coated.

  5. Step 5

    Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
