Dough Balls

Cinnamon Sugar

Whiskey Caramel Gravy

Method

Dough Balls

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Add Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract. Gradually add this mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until a soft dough forms.

  3. 3

    Heat Oil

    In a deep pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Fry the Dough Balls

    Using a small scoop or spoon, drop balls of dough into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Cinnamon Sugar

  1. 5

    Mix Cinnamon Sugar

    In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Mix well.

  2. 6

    Toss the Dough Balls

    While the dough balls are still warm, toss them in the cinnamon sugar mixture until they are fully coated.

Whiskey Caramel Gravy

  1. 7

    Make Caramel

    In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the granulated sugar. Stir constantly until the sugar melts and turns a golden amber color.

  2. 8

    Add Cream and Butter

    Carefully add the heavy cream and unsalted butter to the melted sugar, stirring continuously. Be cautious as the mixture will bubble vigorously.

  3. 9

    Add Whiskey and Salt

    Once the caramel is smooth, remove it from heat and stir in the Jameson whiskey and salt. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
