Okay kiddo, have you ever had dough before? It's like the stuff that pizza and bread are made from. Fried dough foods are yummy snacks made by taking that dough and frying it in hot oil until it's crispy and golden brown.
Some popular examples of fried dough foods are donuts, churros, and funnel cakes. Donuts are round and usually have a hole in the middle, while churros are long and skinny with ridges. Funnel cakes are made by swirling the dough in hot oil and then sprinkling it with powdered sugar.
Fried dough foods are usually sweet and can be topped with things like chocolate or caramel sauce, whipped cream, or fruit. Some people also like to eat them plain or sprinkle them with cinnamon sugar.
One thing to remember though kiddo, is that fried dough foods aren't the healthiest snack since they are high in calories and sugar. So it's best to enjoy them in moderation as a special treat every now and then!
