I remember my mom making these in my high school days. Later I got the recipe, and now make them for my family. Sometimes I add a touch of nutmeg in my buttermilk too. Adds another element of flavour. Ingredients:
1/2 cup white sugar |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 whole egg |
1/2 cup canola oil |
1 cup dairy fresh buttermilk |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
3 2/3 cups all-purpose flour |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
Directions:
1. Combine sugar and salt in a large bowl.
2. Stir in the egg.
3. Stir in the oil, buttermilk, and vanilla.
4. Sift all remaining ingredients, and add a little at a time.
5. Do this in four or five portions, mixing into wet after each.
6. Mix and turn out on a lightly floured board.
7. Keep the dough a soft soft but not sticky dough.
8. Roll out 1/2 inch thick.
9. Cut with cutter.
10. Fry in hot fat in a deep fryer.
11. Temperature of the oil should be 370 degrees.
12. (Or should fry a bread cube in 60 seconds).
13. Fry until golden brown, turning once during frying time.
14. Drain on paper towels.
15. Cool.
16. Dust with icing powder or make a butter icing glaze.
