Instructions

In a large bowl whisk egg, melted butter, oil, milk, sugar, and pure vanilla extract until smooth.

Gradually add sifted flour, baking powder, and salt and whisk well until the batter become homogeneous.

When cooked, take the bites out of the pan and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels.

Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve immediately with your favorite dip (optional).
