Mix together 1/2 cup almond milk, 1/2 cup hot water, 2 teaspoons butter, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract in a bowl until the butter melts.

In a separate bowl, combine 1.5 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 1/8 teaspoon salt.

Use your hands to mix the dry ingredients together.

Slowly add the milk mixture to the flour while mixing until combined.

Add an additional 1/2 cup of flour to adjust the consistency, making a total of 2 cups of flour, until smooth with no lumps.

Cover the mixture and let it sit for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

After resting, heat oil in a pan for frying.

Take pieces of the dough and drop them into the hot oil.

Fry until golden brown, about 7-9 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even cooking.

Remove from oil and place on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
