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
• 0 Non-stick cooking spray
• 0.25 cup Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball.

Step 7

Roll each dough ball into a flat disc, about 6 inches in diameter, using a rolling pin.

Step 8

Place the dough discs onto the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the doughs are puffed and lightly golden brown.

Step 10

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the fried dough cool for a few minutes.

Step 11

Optional: Dust with powdered sugar before serving for added sweetness, if desired.

Step 12

Serve warm and enjoy your low-fat classic fried dough!
