How to make fry Jack

butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil adds a tropical flavor and is dairy-free.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water

Almond milk is lower in calories, while water can be used to reduce richness.

Wash hands before starting.

Measure 2 cups of flour into a mixing bowl.

Add 2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1 teaspoon of kosher salt to the flour.

Mix the dry ingredients together.

Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to the mixture.

Gradually add 1 cup of water to the flour mixture, adjusting as necessary to achieve the right consistency.

Mix until a dough forms, then remove from the bowl.

Knead the dough until it is pliable and smooth, about 5 minutes.

Let the dough rest for 10-15 minutes to become more pliable.

Check the oil temperature in the skillet, adjusting heat as necessary to maintain a hot temperature.

Roll the dough out to about a quarter inch thick, then cut into desired shapes (quarters or halves).

Perform a test fry with a small piece of dough to check for fluffiness.

If the test fry is not fluffy enough, let the dough rest longer before frying.

Fry the dough pieces in hot oil until they puff up and turn golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
