  • 1 tsp. Arm & Hammer™ pure baking soda
  • 1 Tbsp. Clabber Girl® double acting baking powder
  • 2 large Giant Eagle eggs

Directions:

  Prep Time: 10 min. • Cook Time: 20 min.

Fill a large pot halfway with vegetable oil and heat to 375°F.

In a large bowl combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, and baking powder. In a separate bowl combine the eggs, vanilla, melted butter, and buttermilk. Combine wet and dry ingredients, do not over-mix. Once mixed, fold in the chocolate chips.
