Frecken Doodles
Frecken Doodles are delightful fried bread treats coated in sweet cinnamon-sugar mixtures and topped with a luscious almond-infused icing, perfect for casual gatherings or indulgent mornings.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Rise a loaf of frozen bread until thawed and soft.
- Heat vegetable oil to 270°F or until suitable for frying doughnuts.
- In a bowl, mix powdered sugar with almond extract and boiling water until the right icing consistency forms.
- In another bowl, combine equal parts brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon.
- Pull off a piece of bread, stretch it, and carefully drop it into the hot oil.
- Fry until golden brown on both sides, then remove from oil.
- Dip the fried bread into the icing and then into the cinnamon-sugar mixture, or sprinkle as desired.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter doughnut, consider using a mixture of whole wheat flour and all-purpose flour. If you prefer a nut-free version, you can replace almond extract with vanilla extract. Ensure the oil is at the right temperature; too low will result in greasy doughnuts, while too high will burn them quickly. For added flavor, you can infuse the oil with spices such as nutmeg.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Frecken Doodles warm, dusted with extra cinnamon-sugar for a delightful finish. They pair beautifully with a cup of coffee or a glass of milk. For an added treat, consider serving them alongside Sara'S Punch Bowl Cake or Juicy Fruit Salad for a sweet brunch spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Frecken Doodles in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them in a 350°F oven for about 5-7 minutes to regain their crispy texture. Alternatively, you can microwave them for 10-15 seconds, but this may make them softer.
