Deep Fried Kool-Aid??? REVISED & FINAL

Jarhead · Last edited by Jarhead on Jun 22 2011; edited 4 times in total

I know it ain't BBQ, but something that I ran across for vending.
Anybody ever made Deep Fried Kool-Aid in their fryer before?
Anyway got this recipe, and it doesn't specify whether the KA is sweetened or unsweetened. I'm guessing unsweetened. D@mn that's a bunch of them little packs to open. Shocked

I'm going to try it later today and post pics and a review. Be it good, bad or the dogs won't eat it.
NOT UNSWEETENED, YUCK

Deep Fried Kool Aid

Ingredients:
3 Eggs
2 Cups of Milk
1/4 Cup of Sugar
3 2/3 Cups of Flour
1/2 Teaspoons of Salt
1/4 Cup of Sweetened Cherry Kool Aid
2 Teaspoons of Baking Powder
Vegetable Oil For Frying

Making The Batter:
Beat the eggs and the sugar together in a mixing bowl. Slowly add the milk while beating slowly. Add all of the dry ingredients, and beat until the mixture is slow and creamy. The batter should be a bright pink color. Add more kool aid as desired.

Cooking Directions:
Cook in hot vegetable oil for about 3-4 minutes. Remove from the hot oil when the fried kool aid batter is golden brown and is crispy.

Optional:
If desired, the deep fried kool aid can be rolled in a mixture of powdered sugar and sweetened cherry kool aid after it is fried. Use about 1/4 cup of kool aid to 1/2 cup of powdered sugar.
Allow the Deep Fried Kool Aid to cool a bit before eating. They will burn you badly if eaten too soon. Just ask my Doberman. Evil or Very Mad

You can buy cans of the kool-aide now days, saves opening 10k packets to make a 1/4 cup.

I am thinking that only a � cup of sugar for a � cup of unsweetended kool aid is gonna be quite bitter to say the least. 1 small packet alone calls for a � cup of sugar for a � gallon of water.

Just tasted the batter with SWEETENED Cherry KA in it. Not bad. Added a touch of Unsweetened to 1/4 cup of batter, yep, bitter as sh!t. With the sweetened, it needs a tad more for flavor and color.
Will let ya know next batch.
Use the sweetened.
Finished pics comin' up.
BTW, recipe changed above to reflect "sweetened". Very Happy

Jarhead, how many beers were involved in this? Wink

I think I have had enough to try it though. After all everything is better deep fried, even Kool Aid I guess. Thanks.

Gunnny's gone Carny on us! Razz

Let us know how it goes with sales.

My kid wanted to try deep fried gravy balls to be served with chicken and the like. Shocked

We made em.

They were disgusting.......................

Hats off to you fry babies, something I have yet to venture into myself and would have to be an outside festival sport- my kitchen is not equipped for fryers.

corndog, congrats on a fine showing.
How do you hold your batter without it blooming and going bad?
Do you cook to order or hold under a heat lamp?
This is a whole new ballgame for me. Shocked
