Fried Kool-Aid Balls

Kool-Aid is a product that everyone remembers from their childhood.  When I saw that people were using Kool-Aid as an ingredient in other foods, it sparked my interest.  So I decided to make deep fried kook-aid balls.  These were easy to make and tasted like a cherry flavored donut.  

Ingredients: 

Dry 

• 1 1/2 cups of flour
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon of baking powder
• a pinch of salt
• 0.13 ounces of Kool-Aid (any flavor)

Wet 

• 1/2 cup of milk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons of melted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dusting 

• Confectionary Sugar

Directions:

1. Start by setting your deep fryer to 365 degrees with vegetable oil in it.
2. In a medium bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and Kool-Aid pack together.  
3. Set dry mixture aside.
4. In a smaller bowl add beaten egg, milk, butter and vanilla extract and mix.
5. Combine wet mixture to dry mixture and mix until it reaches a play dough type of consistency.
6. When vegetable oil reaches 365 degrees, scoop out a small amount of dough and add to oil.
7. Let cook for 3-4 minutes. (more if you use a larger scoop)
8. Remove from deep fryer when the Kool-Aid balls turn slightly brown and place on paper towels to drain. 
9. Coat with a light dusting of confectionary sugar and serve while still warm.
