Fried Dough

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, add the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and kosher salt. Use a pastry blender (or your clean fingertips) and work in the chilled unsalted butter.
2. Slowly stir in the lukewarm water, cover the bowl and let it rest for 15 minutes. On a lightly floured pastry mat, using a dough scraper, divide it into 8 equal wedges. Working with 1 piece at a time, roll into a 5-inch, round, and 3/8 thick.
3. In a large cast-iron skillet, heat the Canola oil (about 2 cups for a 10″ skillet) to 375 degrees F.Using tongs, carefully add each dough disk to the hot oil. Cook it for 60 seconds. Each side should be golden, and light brown. Be careful not to cook them too long, so they do not become too crisp.
4. When each fried dough is done, place them on a paper towel-lined plate or wire cooling rack over a rimmed baking sheet. Serve them topped with powdered sugar and cinnamon. Enjoy!
