Deep Fried Cake Batter Cookie Dough
This is the second recipe you can make with the eggless cookie dough I posted last week (that's made for eating raw.)
Listen, all I have to say is that I think this is the best thing I've ever eaten. Like, so, so good. The buttery, cake batter-flavored dough encased in a thin, crispy shell was surprisingly light and pop-able. Despite being indulgent, it didn’t feel heavy or overwhelming (of course, I couldn't resist "dressing it up" a little -- see under the cut, below).
I don't deep fry often and this is definitely a "once in a blue moon" indulgence, but the taste was so mind-blowing that it was worth the effort and the calories :) It's a must-eat!!
Deep Fried Cake Batter Cookie Dough
Recipe by: Willow Bird Baking (cake batter cookie dough) and Taylor Takes a Taste (deep frying)
Yields: about 12 fried dough balls, depending on size
Dough Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup yellow cake mix
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup granulated white sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 tablespoons sprinkles
4-8 tablespoons water
Batter Ingredients:
1 egg
1 cup ice cold water
1 cup self-rising flour
2 tbsp confectioners' sugar
Other Ingredients:
small bowl of cornstarch for rolling dough balls in
oil or shortening for frying
confectioners' sugar for sprinkling (optional)
chocolate sauce (optional)
whipped cream (optional)
sprinkles (optional)
Directions:
To make dough, in a medium bowl, cream together butter and sugar for 2-3 minutes until light, fluffy, and pale yellow. Mix in salt, flour, cake mix, sprinkles, and vanilla. Add water one tablespoon at a time, mixing after each, until you reach cookie dough consistency. Roll your dough into balls and chill until your batter and oil are ready.
Heat your oil to 375 degrees. To make batter, mix together egg and water. Add flour and sugar and mix. Roll each dough ball in cornstarch, shaking off the excess, and then dip into the batter, making sure the ball is entirely coated. Use a slotted spoon to place 3 or 4 balls at a time into the hot oil. Fry for 1-3 minutes or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and serve with confectioners' sugar, chocolate sauce, whipped cream, and sprinkles.
