Preparation
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Set aside for later use.

- Add the whisked egg, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 tablespoon melted butter, and 1/2 cup whole milk to the dry ingredients. Stir until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
Frying
- Dip your mold into the hot oil, then coat it with the batter.
- Carefully place the mold back into the oil and fry until the fritters turn golden brown.
- Remove the fritters from the oil and immediately coat them in the cinnamon sugar mixture you set aside earlier.
Serving

Notes
Ensure your oil is at the correct temperature for frying to achieve the perfect crunch. Don't overcrowd the pot while frying.
