Whisk butter, eggs and sugar in a bowl until light and fluffy.
Add vanilla essence.
In a separate bowl sift flour and baking powder twice.
Add flour mixture to egg mixture.
Add milk/water and mix into a soft sticky dough.
Allow to rest for 30 minutes.
Place teaspoons full of mixture in hot oil and fry until golden brown.
Hint:
Dip spoon in cold water to ensure that dough separates from spoon to form neatly rounded balls when dropped in oil.
- Syrup:

Boil together until sticky.
You may add water if syrup becomes too sticky.
