It is thrifty to buy vegetable oil in 48-ounce, or larger, bottles. However, the size can be difficult to handle. Transfer the oil into a pint-size bottle for daily use. Store the large bottle in a cool, dark place.

Ingredients

Serves 4 

  • 3 cups plus 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 (20-ounce) can pineapple rings
  • 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar

    Heat 3 cups oil in a large deep pot over high heat until temperature reaches 365°F. Meanwhile, combine flour, salt and sugar in a large bowl.

  2. 2

    Mix egg, milk and remaining oil in a small bowl. Slowly add liquid ingredients to dry ingredients, stirring with a fork or whisking until smooth.

If you do not have a thermometer to test the oil temperature, you can drop a cube of white bread into the hot oil. If it browns evenly in 1 minute, the oil is ready to use.
