QUICK & EASY FRIED DOUGH RECIPE - (3.9/5)



Quick & Easy Fried Dough Recipe - (3.9/5) image

Provided by Late2Serenity

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour, 8 1/2 ounces
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons cold butter
3/4 cup lukewarm water
Vegetable oil, for frying

Steps:

  • Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt. Work in the cold butter, using a pastry blender, your fingers, or a mixer. Stir in the warm water to make a soft dough. Cover and let rest for 15 minutes. Divide the dough into eight pieces. Working with one piece at a time, roll into a thin 5" round. Heat 1/4" vegetable oil to 375°F in an electric frying pan, or in a pan over a burner. If you're not using an electric frying pan, you'll have to guesstimate the temperature of the oil in your stove-top pan. Pick up one dough disk, and carefully lower it into the pan. Let it cook for 45 to 60 seconds (it'll puff up on top and become brown on the bottom), then flip it over and cook till brown on the other side, about 45 seconds. Remove from the oil and set on a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Place in a 200°F oven to keep warm while you make the remaining fried doughs. Serve warm, with maple syrup or cider syrup; confectioners' sugar, or cinnamon sugar; or the topping of your choice.

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 c king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
2 Tbsp cold unsalted butter, in 1/2" cubes
3/4 c lukewarm water

Steps:

  • 1. Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • 2. Work in the cold butter, using a pastry blender, your fingers, or a mixer.
  • 3. Stir in the warm water to make a soft dough. Cover and let rest for 15 minutes.
  • 4. Divide the dough into eight pieces. Working with one piece at a time, roll into a thin 5" round, about 3/8" thick.
  • 5. Heat about 3/8" vegetable oil to 375°F in an electric frying pan, or in a pan over a burner. If you're using a 10" diameter pan, this is 2 cups of vegetable oil. If you're not using an electric frying pan, use a candy thermometer to take the temperature of the oil; or guesstimate it by seeing if the first piece of dough fries nicely in the time specified.
  • 6. Pick up one dough disk, and carefully lower it into the pan. Let it cook for 60 seconds (it'll puff up on top and become light brown on the bottom), then flip it over and cook until light brown on the other side, about 60 seconds. You don't want to cook these too dark; they'll become overly crisp.
  • 7. Remove from the oil and set on a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Place in a 200°F oven to keep warm while you make the remaining fried doughs.
  • 8. Serve warm, with maple syrup or cider syrup; confectioners' sugar, or cinnamon sugar; or the topping of your choice - some folks enjoy a savory version, with marinara sauce and cheese.

Tips:

  • Use a deep fryer. This is the best way to get evenly fried dough that is crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
  • Get your dough to the right consistency. It should be smooth and elastic, but not too sticky. If it's too sticky, add more flour. If it's too dry, add more milk or water.
  • Let the dough rest. This will help it rise and become more flavorful.
  • Don't overcrowd the fryer. This will cause the dough to stick together and cook unevenly.
  • Fry the dough in small batches. This will help you keep an eye on them and prevent them from overcooking.
  • Use a slotted spoon to remove the dough from the fryer. This will help drain the excess oil.
  • Serve the dough hot. This is when it is at its best!

Fried dough is a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Whether you are making it for a special occasion or just as a quick and easy snack, these tips will help you make the best fried dough possible. So what are you waiting for? Get started today!
