fried dough
Hot oil pastry
Fried dough is a simple treat made by deep-frying pieces of dough, typically served warm with powdered sugar, cinnamon, or other toppings.
A staple at carnivals, fairs, and boardwalks, it goes by regional names like funnel cake, elephant ears, or zeppole depending on shape and preparation: We always get fried dough at the county fair.
