Answer 2

Fried Dough
To prepare the dough:

½ cup milk

¾ cup water

1 tablespoon Canola oil

1 teaspoon salt

¼ cup sugar

3 cups flour

2 teaspoons yeast

Add to the bowl of a bread maker and set on the dough cycle. Or, mix vigorously in a large mixing bowl and let rise until double in bulk.

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Punch down and knead. Roll out to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut into strips 2 ½ inches wide and cut the strips into squares. Cover and let rest for about 10 minutes.

Using a large fry pan, fill with about three inches of cooking oil. Heat until the temperature of the oil is 360 degrees. If the fat is too cool, the dough will absorb the oil and if the fat is too hot, the dough will brown before it is cooked in the middle.

Lower the dough gently into the cooking oil, two or three pieces at a time. When brown on one side, turn and brown on the other side. Lift from the cooking oil with a fork or tongs and drain on paper towels.

Brush the fried dough with melted butter and sprinkle with powdered or cinnamon sugar.
