Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 0.75 cup milk
- 2 cups vegetable oil, for frying
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar, for dusting
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and sugar. Mix well to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Step 2
Add the melted butter to the dry ingredients and mix until small crumbs are formed.
Step 3
Gradually add milk to the mixture, stirring continuously until a soft dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky, but firm enough to handle.
Step 4
Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead lightly until smooth, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
Step 5
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Using a rolling pin, roll each portion into a 1/4-inch thick circle.
Step 6
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. To ensure the oil is ready, place a small piece of dough in the oil; it should sizzle and rise to the surface immediately.
Step 7
Fry each piece of rolled dough in the hot oil until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to turn the dough and manage frying.
Step 8
Once fried, remove the dough and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 9
Allow the fried dough to cool slightly, then generously dust with powdered sugar on both sides.
Step 10
Serve warm. Enjoy your delicious low sodium classic fried dough with your favorite dipping sauce or additional toppings if desired.
