After the much talked about fried Ice cream, fried lemonade, fried Coca-Cola and fried beer, here comes Fried Kool-Aid, the latest liquid to get battered.
Deep-fried Kool-Aid in its finished form is like a pastry, first sweet and then tangy. The recipe is top secret but it involves a whole lot of Kool-Aid powder, flour, powdered sugar and hot oil.
Boghosian's fried fare has gained him a cult following as well as appearances on the Travel Channel and CNN.
He said that his latest invention was a runaway success, outselling his other deep-fried items two to one.
"That's because it tastes so darn good," Boghosian told Sign on San Diego.
Here's an easy-to-prepare Fried Kool-Aid recipe:
Ingredients:
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup Kool-Aid (We like grape)
- 3 eggs
- 1/4 of sugar (Want it sweeter? Add more)
- 1/2 tsp. of salt
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- 2 cups milk
- 3 2/3 cups of flour
Optional
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 1 tsp. dark chocolate (melted)
- 1 tsp. honey
Make the batter by beating the eggs and sugar together. Gradually add the milk and dry ingredients, including the optional ones. Cook in hot vegetable oil until golden brown (a few minutes, depending on heat). Cool in tray for a few minutes, then dig in.
