_FRIED SMALL BREADS_
Bread dough (raised ready to bake) may be fried in deep fat and served
hot. Small irregular pieces may be torn off or the dough rolled about 1/8
in. thick, cut in strips (2 to 3 in. wide) and then in squares or diamonds.
In the latter case, cover and let stand in a warm place 10 or 15 min. Fry
(deep fat) a delicate brown (about 4 min.).
These are served as hot bread for breakfast with butter and if liked a
syrup. They are also served in Milk Sauce, when they are called Baptist
Cakes.
_Variation._ Panfry in 1/2 in. fat (1 to 2 min.).
