Last week as a Birthday gift for Fran and an early Birthday gift to me Sammy and Tricia got us a new 6 Quart Professional KitchenAid Stand Mixer.
Needless to say, I was delighted. We use our current 4.5 Quart KitchenAid constantly. For the longest time, I've wanted to upgrade to the larger machine and now I have it.
I just couldn't wait to mix up some of my Easy all-purpose dough in my new KitchenAid. So, I mixed up a batch and made some pizza.
I only made a couple of small pizzas so I would have some dough left over to make some fried dough.
County Fair Fried Dough:
You don't have to wait for that annual county fair to have this sweet little treat. These are so easy to make and the perfect little snack. You can make your own dough or just pick up some fresh dough at your local grocery store.
I pulled off a handful of dough and then shaped it into as close to a circle as I could get. These are about 4 to 5 inches across.
Using my 8-inch cast iron skillet I poured about 1/2-inch of vegetable oil into the bottom. I set the heat to medium and heated the oil to about 350 degrees.
Once the oil is hot they only take about 20 seconds per side to cook. If the oil is too hot they'll brown too fast and not cook on the inside.
In a separate dish, I mixed 1/2 cup of white sugar and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon. I used Penzeys Vietnamese Cinnamon it's a favorite of ours.
Out of the skillet and into the sugar and cinnamon coating on both sides. Then place them on another dish lined with paper towels.
Let them cool for about 10 minutes before eating. Now you can enjoy county fair fried dough any time of the year.
As always thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy.
