Easy Fried Dough Recipe with 2 Eggs and Flour (No Oven Required!)
Ingredients:
- 750 ml (3 ¼ cups) water
- 10 g (1 tbsp) vanilla sugar
- 1 tbsp (15 g) sugar
- Pinch of salt
- 50 g (3.5 tbsp) butter
- 200 g (1 ⅔ cups) flour
- 2 eggs
- Honey, to taste (for drizzling)
Preparation:
1. Prepare the Liquid Base:
- In a medium saucepan, pour 750 ml of water.
- Add 10 g of vanilla sugar, 1 tbsp of sugar, a pinch of salt, and 50 g of butter.
- Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally until all the ingredients dissolve and the butter is melted.
2. Add the Flour:
- Without removing the saucepan from the heat, slowly add 200 g of flour to the mixture. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon to ensure the flour incorporates smoothly without lumps.
- Continue stirring until the dough pulls away from the sides of the pan and forms a smooth, homogeneous mass.
3. Add the Eggs:
- Remove the dough from the heat and transfer it to a mixing bowl.
- Allow it to cool for a few minutes so the eggs won’t cook immediately when added.
- Once slightly cooled, add 2 eggs to the dough, one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition until the dough is smooth and well combined.
4. Shape the Dough:
- Place the dough into a pastry bag with a wide tip. If you don’t have a pastry bag, you can use a ziplock bag and cut off one corner to pipe the dough.
- On a piece of parchment paper, pipe out 6 long strips of dough. Cut the edges cleanly if needed to ensure even pieces.
5. Fry the Dough:
- Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Ensure there’s enough oil for shallow frying.
- Carefully place the parchment paper with the dough strips into the hot oil, ensuring the dough doesn’t touch directly at first. Once the dough begins to fry and firm up, remove the parchment paper.
- Fry the strips for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crisp.
6. Serve:
- Remove the fried dough strips from the pan and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
- Drizzle generously with honey while still warm for a delightful sweet finish.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the incredible flavor of this easy fried dough recipe!
Tips:
- You can sprinkle cinnamon, powdered sugar, or even chocolate sauce on top for added flavor variations.
- Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying, but not too hot, to prevent burning the dough.
