Minty Chocolate Fry Cakes
Fry cakes are a type of doughnut. Any tea could make these fabulous; be creative. I chose spearmint for the strongest flavor difference.
30 m 2Ingredients
- 2 c. all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. shortening or butter
- 1 c. hot water
- 1 tsp. loose spearmint or tea of choice
- 1/2 c. grated or powdered chocolate
- 1/4 c. sugar (brown or white)
- fat or oil (enough for deep frying)
- optional powdered sugar
Directions
Brew tea in hot water and steep 5 min. Strain and allow to cool to lukewarm.
Sift flour, salt, baking soda, chocolate, and sugar into a bowl. Cut in shortening. Add brewed tea and knead lightly to gather into a ball. Roll out dough onto a lightly floured board. Cut into 3" squares.
Heat fat or oil in deep fryer or deep skillet to about 370°F. Fry 2 or 3 at a time until puffed and golden on both sides. Drain on paper towels and dust with powdered sugar.
