Fried Dough Ingredients

Method

Fried Dough Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Add Liquids

    Gradually stir in the milk and water until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.

  3. 3

    Roll Out the Dough

    Roll the dough out on a floured surface to about ½ inch thick. Cut into squares or circles using a sharp knife or cookie cutter.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep skillet or fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    Fry the Dough

    Carefully drop the dough pieces into the hot oil, frying them in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Cinnamon Sugar Coating

    In a bowl, combine the cinnamon and sugar for coating. While the dough is still warm, roll each piece in the cinnamon sugar mixture until evenly coated.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve warm and enjoy your delicious fried dough!
