Instructions
- 1
Pinch off pieces of bread dough about the size of a small egg and flatten slightly.
- 2
Heat butter or drippings in a heavy skillet over medium-low heat.
- 3
Fry the dough pieces in batches, turning often, for about 10-12 minutes until golden and cooked through.
- 4
Reduce heat if they are browning before the centre cooks, and cover the pan briefly to help them finish.
- 5
Drain briefly and serve warm with molasses or jam.
Chef's tips
Keep the heat moderate so the dough cooks through before the outside burns; covering the pan for part of the cooking helps.
Ingredient substitutions
- butter or drippings → vegetable oil
Storage
Best eaten fresh and warm.
Reheating
Reheat briefly in a dry skillet to re-crisp.
Common mistakes to avoid
- •Frying at too high a heat, browning the outside while the centre stays raw
- •Making the pieces too large to cook through evenly
