Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 0.75 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil (for dough)
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 0.5 cups Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
Add the water and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until a smooth dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. If it's too dry, add a spoonful of water at a time to achieve the right consistency.
Knead the dough gently for about 2 minutes on a floured surface until it becomes elastic and smooth.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball and then flatten it into a disc about 1/4 inch thick.
Heat 4 cups of vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Carefully place one or two dough discs into the hot oil, ensuring they have enough space to float freely. Fry each side for about 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried dough from the oil and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining dough discs.
Once all the dough is fried, generously dust each piece with powdered sugar.
Serve warm and enjoy your crispy, dairy-free fried dough!
