Fried Dough | Pizza Fritte | Fry Dough | Bannock | Fritter

This north American delicacy is quite popular in Europe as well. It is a very simple recipe which can be made easily and enjoyed in the comfort of your home. I have used cardamom which can be replaced by nutmeg powder if you wish. Vegetarian food lovers can avoid eggs and those who do not like alcohol can skip it as well.

Enjoy it with a cup of coffee or tea.
