Donut Sticks With Chocolate Sauce - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
2 quarts peanut oil, for frying
1/4 cup sugar, for dusting
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, for dusting
2 (8 ounce) cans crescent rolls (recommended -- Pillsbury)
chocolate sauce
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1/3 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
6 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Preparation
-
In a deep-fryer or heavy-bottomed pot, heat enough peanut oil to come halfway up the sides of the pot, to 375 degrees F.
Mix together the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside.
Slice the seamless dough sheets into 1-inch strips from the shorter length of the dough.
Make sure that the strips are not longer than your deep-fryer is wide.
Twist each dough strip, and then drop, 3 at a time, into the fryer. Fry the donut sticks until golden brown and crisp, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, flipping with tongs about half way through.
Remove the donuts from the fryer and dust with the cinnamon-.
sugar mixture.
In a heavy saucepan over medium heat, combine the first 6 chocolate sauce ingredients and bring to a simmer.
Whisk in the chocolate, vanilla, and butter and stir until the sauce is
smooth.
Serve chocolate sauce on the side for dipping.
