Preparation

1. 1.
   In a small saucepan, bring the Coca-Cola to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat and simmer until the Coca-Cola has reduced to 1/4 cup. Set aside to cool.
2. 2.
   In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
3. 3.
   Gradually add the cooled Coca-Cola reduction to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. Knead the dough for a few minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
4. 4.
   Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).
5. 5.
   Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of about 1/4 inch. Cut the dough into small rectangles or circles.
6. 6.
   Carefully drop the dough pieces into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, turning them once to ensure even cooking. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels.
7. 7.
   Dust the fried dough with powdered sugar and drizzle with Coca-Cola syrup.
8. 8.
   Serve warm and enjoy the crispy, cola-infused goodness of Fried Coke!

Treat your ingredients with care...

• Coca-Cola — Make sure to reduce the Coca-Cola to a syrupy consistency to intensify the flavor in the dough. Allow it to cool before adding it to the dry ingredients.

Tips & Tricks

• For an extra burst of flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dough mixture.
• Serve the Fried Coke with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast of temperatures and textures.
• If you prefer a lighter version, you can bake the dough instead of frying it. Simply brush the dough with melted butter and bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 15 minutes or until golden brown.
• Experiment with different shapes and sizes for a fun twist on presentation.
• If Coca-Cola syrup is not available, you can make a simple syrup by combining equal parts Coca-Cola and sugar in a saucepan and simmering until it thickens.

Serving advice

Serve the Fried Coke warm to fully enjoy the contrast between the crispy exterior and the gooey, syrup-soaked interior. Sprinkle some additional powdered sugar on top for an extra touch of sweetness.

Presentation advice

Arrange the Fried Coke on a platter, dusted with powdered sugar and drizzled with Coca-Cola syrup. Garnish with a fresh mint leaf for a pop of color.
