Combine the eggs, milk, sugar, oil, and vanilla. Stir into the flour mixture to make a loose batter. Cover and let stand for about 1 hour. Heat at least 1 inch of oil over medium heat to 375° F. Drop the batter by teaspoonfuls or tablespoonfuls into the oil and fry, turning once, until puffed and golden brown on all sides, about 1 1/2 minutes per side. Remove with a wire mesh skimmer or tongs and drain on a wire rack. You can keep the fritlach warm in a 250-degree oven while preparing the fremaining fritters. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar. Variation: Omit the baking powder. Increase the eggs to 4. Separate the eggs and combine the yolks with the milk, sugar, oil, and vanilla. Beat the egg whites until stiff but not dry and fold into the batter. Makes: about 30 small or 24 medium fritters -- Rec.food.recipes is moderated by Patricia D. Hill at .
