| A doughboy is the correct term for what many people call fried dough. Making them at home is both more fun and cheaper than buying them at a carnival. A doughboy is similar to a funnel cake. The only difference is that doughboys do not involve funnels!
Here is the proper way to deal out doughboys. You will need:
Put a thick layer of oil in the frying pan, then turn it on. If the pan catches on fire, you've set it too high, so buy a new frying pan and start over. Next, put some flour on your hands. Start taking blobs of dough and dropping them into the pan, but not from too high up. We don't want splashes of hot oil giving third degree burns to your kids. When the blobs start sticking to your hands, put some more flour on.
For some reason, when my mom's family makes doughboys, we make plain ones first, and then we start putting cheese inside. Be careful when eating a cheese doughboy; the insides stay HOT!
