Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine your sourdough discard, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Stir until well blended.
  2. Gradually add water to the dough while mixing until it reaches a thick but pipeable consistency.
  3. Heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C) in a deep pot. Use a thermometer for accuracy.
