Fried dough

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 pounds Flour; (4-5 cups)
teaspoon Salt
1 tablespoon Sugar
4 tablespoons Shortening
2 cups Warm water
1 pack Yeast

Directions

Dissolve the yeast in warm water. Add remaining ingredients and knead a bit. Let rise about one hour. Pinch off a piece about the size of an egg and make a hole in the middle. Fry in 1-2 inches of oil. Drain on paper towels. Shake in a brown bag with granulated sugar.

NOTES : The fried dough that I literallly grew up on was just plain Italian bread dough. No sugar and no shortening. Can't keep this cooking fast enough!! ENJOY!!!
