Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1.5 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 large egg
- 0.75 cup whole milk
- 2 cups vegetable oil
- 0.25 cup water
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and granulated sugar. Mix thoroughly to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Step 2
Cut the unsalted butter into small pieces and add it to the flour mixture. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, beat the egg and mix in the whole milk and water until fully combined.
Step 4
Slowly add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir until a dough forms. You may need to use your hands to bring it together into a smooth ball.
Step 5
Flour a clean surface and knead the dough lightly for about 2-3 minutes until it's smooth and elastic. Avoid overworking the dough to maintain a tender texture.
Step 6
Cover the dough with a cloth and let it rest for about 10 minutes to allow the gluten to relax.
Step 7
Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a rope about 7-8 inches long.
Step 8
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan or fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Step 9
Carefully add the dough sticks in batches, frying for about 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 10
Remove the fried dough sticks using a slotted spoon and let them drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
Step 11
Serve warm and enjoy your low sodium crispy fried dough sticks!
