👩🍳 Instructions:
-
Combine dry ingredients; cut in butter.
- This marks the inception of our culinary journey. The amalgamation of the dry ingredients with the butter sets the stage for a flavorful masterpiece.
-
Add enough warm milk to make a soft dough, easy to handle.
- The addition of warm milk introduces a tactile quality to the dough, ensuring it attains the perfect consistency for effortless handling.
-
Knead on a floured board until the dough is very smooth and soft but elastic.
- The kneading process transforms the ingredients into a silky, elastic dough, embodying the essence of culinary finesse.
-
Do not use a lot of extra flour, and don’t overknead, 3-4 minutes.
- Exercise restraint in the use of flour, and let the dough be kneaded just enough for it to reach its peak texture, a mere 3-4 minutes of culinary finesse.
-
Divide the dough into 6-8 balls and brush the tops with melted butter.
- Portioning the dough into manageable balls, each adorned with a brush of melted butter, adds a touch of indulgence to each individual piece.
-
Cover with plastic wrap and let stand 30-45 minutes.
- This interlude allows the dough to rest, enabling the flavors to meld and the texture to achieve the perfect balance.
-
Pat out each ball into a round, 5 or 6 inches in diameter and 1/4 inch thick. Using your index finger, poke a hole through the middle of each round. (Allows the middle to cook; will close up while frying.)
- Crafting each ball into a disc, delicately punctuating the center, ensures even cooking, allowing the true essence of the bread to shine through.
-
Fry in 3″ of oil/fat (preheated to 365 degrees). I use my electric fry pan, so I can fry two at a time.
- The sizzling journey begins as the dough encounters the preheated oil, a culinary spectacle unfolding in the confines of your electric fry pan.
-
Dough should rise immediately to the surface.
- Watch in awe as the dough responds to the heat, rising promptly to the surface, a testament to the precise temperature and culinary expertise.
-
Cook until brown on one side, turn, and brown on the other side being careful not to pierce the crust.
- Exercise utmost care during the cooking process, ensuring a perfect browning on both sides without compromising the integrity of the golden crust.
-
Drain on absorbent paper and serve hot.
- The grand finale involves placing the golden treasures on absorbent paper, ready to be served hot – a culinary crescendo that beckons taste buds to a symphony of flavors.
