Cinnamon Sugar Fried Treats
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 3/8 cup shortening
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons active dry yeast
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 quart oil for frying
  • 6 tablespoons white sugar
  • 3 tablespoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
1
Gather all necessary components.
2
Combine milk, shortening, sugar, and salt in a small saucepan over medium heat.
3
Heat the mixture on the stovetop, stirring constantly until the shortening has melted and sugar dissolves.
4
Remove the saucepan from the heat source and allow it to cool down to a lukewarm temperature of 110 degrees F (43 degrees C).
5
Add yeast to the cooled dough mixture and let it sit for a period of time until it becomes frothy.
6
Transfer the yeast-infused mixture to a large bowl and stir in flour to create a dough.
7
Knead the dough until it becomes smooth, then cover it and let it rise for 30 minutes.
8
Heat oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to a temperature of 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
9
Roll out small balls of dough into thin sheets, approximately 2 inches in diameter.
10
Fry the dough sheets in hot oil for about 1 to 2 minutes on each side, or until they are puffed and golden brown.
11
Transfer the fried dough to paper towels to drain excess oil.
12
In a separate bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon.
