Notes

  • Not sweet enough? — If you’d like your dough a tad sweeter, you might want to add 1-2 tbsp. of sugar into your dry mix.
 
  • Best condiments — Although this fried dough recipe is certainly enough to fill you with happiness on its own, there is certainly no harm in pairing these small delights with some condiments. The most ideal ones would be maple syrup, honey, and tomato sauce.
