Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1/2 cup water
• Oil for frying
• Powdered sugar for dusting

Equipment: Frying pan, mixing bowl, rolling pin.

‘Nuff about the equipment, let’s chat about these ingredients! Our star player here is the all-purpose flour, giving our Fried Dough its sturdy yet fluffy structure. Then comes the butter, adding a rich mouthfeel to each bite. And of course, we gotta talk about that powdered sugar dusting – it’s like the cherry on top, or in this case, the snow-dusting on the Fried Dough. Lastly, if you’re lookin’ for a healthier option, you could replace the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour. Now let’s get our hands doughy!

How To Make Fried Dough

1. Start by combining flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium mixing bowl.
2. Cut in the butter using your hands, until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
3. Add water and mix until the dough comes together. Knead it until smooth and supple.
4. Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
5. Divide the dough into 8 even balls.
6. Roll out each ball and carefully drop it into the hot oil.
7. Fry both sides until golden brown, then drain on paper towels.
8. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve hot.

Tips For The Best Results

• Don’t overcrowd the pan.
