Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons organic sugar
  
• grated peel of 1 orange (optional)

• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled, or the same amount of safflower oil
  
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  
• ¹/₂ teaspoon salt
  
• Safflower oil or butter for frying (the safflower oil seems to give a crispier crust, while the butter gives flavor), or use a little of both

• butter as an accompaniment
