Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Low-fat milk
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt (non-fat)
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg
- Non-stick cooking spray
- 0.25 cup Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In another bowl, combine the low-fat milk, Greek yogurt, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and the egg. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and evenly integrated.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet mixture into it. Stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until a dough begins to form.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for about 2-3 minutes until smooth and elastic, adding more flour if needed to prevent sticking.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball.
Roll each dough ball into a flat disc, about 6 inches in diameter, using a rolling pin.
Place the dough discs onto the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops with non-stick cooking spray.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the doughs are puffed and lightly golden brown.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the fried dough cool for a few minutes.
Optional: Dust with powdered sugar before serving for added sweetness, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your low-fat classic fried dough!
