Ingredients

Steps

  1. It is best to fry 1 pound of flour for one egg. I made less, so I chose small eggs. The fried dough sticks pre-mixed powder is very convenient to use and has an aluminum- and alum-free formula, so you can eat it with confidence, including deep-fried dough sticks, fried twists, and all kinds of fried foods you like.

  2. Beat the eggs, add warm water and stir evenly.

  3. Add the flour and mix without sifting. After I finished sifting, I found that all that was left were white granulated sugar, so I threw it back. Knead the dough. If it feels a little sticky, you can apply a little salad oil on your hands to knead the dough, cover it with plastic wrap and leave it for about 20 minutes.

  4. Take out the dough and arrange it. You need to apply some salad oil on your hands when kneading this dough to make it easier to work. The dough should be pressed thin and flat.

  5. Use a scraper to cut the dough into strips, put the two strips together, stretch them, and press them with chopsticks. The dough sticks are ready. If you like twists, you can take one and roll it into a long strip, twist it hard and fold both sides into twists. This method is very simple, and you can fold it in half once to make the pattern look better.

  7. Choose a smaller pot so you can use less oil. You don’t like leftover oil, so use as little oil as possible. Add an appropriate amount of oil to the pot. When the oil temperature is about 70%, add the fried dough sticks and twists. Use chopsticks to constantly turn the fried dough sticks and twists. When they are put into the pot, they will plump up and are fried thoroughly. It's OK!
