  These are made by Israeli cooks as a quick substitute for
  yeast-leavened doughnuts. They are ready in minutes & taste good, but
  are not as light as the yeast version.
  
  Sift flour with baking powder. Combine eggs, sugar, oil, water or
  milk, salt & vanilla in a bowl & whisk until smooth. Add flour
  mixture & mix to a smooth, thick batter.
  
  Heat oil to 350° or until it bubbles gently around a piece of dough
  added to it. Slide mixture gently into oil by rounded tablespoons for
  large ones or by teaspoons for small ones. If mixture doesn't easily
  come off the spoon, dip another spoon in the oil & use it to push the
  dough off. Fry 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
  Drain on paper towels.
  
  Serve hot or warm, sprinkled with confectioners' sugar.
