oz
can Pillsbury Original Crescent rolls
vegetable oil for frying
Powdered Sugar for Topping
Instructions
In a frying pan with at least 2 inches of oil heat it up to between 325-350. I used a kitchen thermometer for this, the dough fries quickly.
On a floured surface roll out the crescent dough and press out the perforations
With a pizza cutter cut small rectangles
I worked with 3-4 pieces at a time drop the dough in the oil
As soon as it puffs up flip over the dough
Once both sides are golden brown remove the fried dough with a metal slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels
Continue frying until done
Serve hot and sprinkled liberally with sifted powdered sugar
Notes
If you can find the Pillsbury Crescent Dough Sheet without perforations it can be used also
