When I say "breakfast" what are the top three foods that come to mind? Bacon, eggs and pancakes, right? Well, say that word to an American and chances are donut will be in their top 3. Donuts here are definitely more of a snack. On Easter weekend my husband and I were lucky enough to spend time with my American side of the family. It was lovely to see them despite the fact that our time together was quite limited. While visiting, my wonderful aunt made a yummy brunch treat for us. Fried Dough Bits. They were DELICIOUS!
Yields: 30 ish "tim bit" sized treats
Ingredients
Ingredients
2 packages premade pizza dough (you could also use homemade - not whole wheat though)
1 cup vegetable or canola oil
icing sugar to sprinkle on top
Method
Flatten out dough to the size of a medium plate (not the saucer size but not a dinner plate...). Cut into 1 inch x 1 inch squares and dropped about 8 at a time into a deep skillet of hot vegetable oil. Flip once when golden brown. Remove before they get to a dark brown colour. Quickly dust with icing sugar (or a sugar and Cinnamon mixture). Serve warm. YUM!
*be careful of the oil spitting when you drop the dough in! It can also get a little smokey/stinky so open a window or turn the hood fan on
