Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 cup Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
1/2 cup Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Sugar
2 Tbsp Oil
1/2 cup Water
3 cups Oil -- for frying, (to 4C)
Youtiao are a traditional fried Chinese doughnut, much like a cruller
or churro. They're normally torn in two lengthwise and are an
excellent accompaniment to congee.
PREP: 10 minutes
COOK: 20 minutes
In a medium-sized bowl, knead together all ingredients except oil
until the ball of dough is no longer sticky and is smooth to the
touch. Cover the bowl and refrigerate overnight.
Remove from fridge and allow the dough to come to room temperature,
about 1 to 2 hours.
Right before you're prepared to roll and shape your youtiao, begin
heating your oil in a deep fryer or deep pot to 400F.
On a lightly floured surface, dump out the dough and lightly flour
the top. Begin rolling the dough into a long rectangle that is less
than 1/2" thick.
Using a pizza cutter or knife, cut dough into equal sized strips
about 1" wide. Stack two strips on top of one another and press the
center, lengthwise, with a chopstick or butter knife. Hold the two
ends of each piece and gently stretch the dough to 6-8" in length.
Once your oil reaches 400F, fry the youtiao one at a time, turning
each doughnut with chopsticks continuously until the outside is a
deep golden brown, about 2 minutes.
Continue until all youtiao have been fried.
