Deep Fried Pepsi - Recipies and Video
If you make a classic pate au choux, using Pepsi in lieu of water, the resulting batter when fried will have the texture of a beignet with the flavor of Pepsi. Dusted with powdered sugar, this was State Fair heaven!
Deep Fried Pepsi Recipies:
1 ¼ cups Pepsi
¾ cup W hole butter, unsalted
½ tsp Salt
1 ½ cups Flour
6 Whole eggs
How to do it:
1. Place Pepsi and butter in tall sided sauce pot. Bring to a boil.
2. Add the salt and the flour all at once time, beating together over medium heat until the mixture pulls away from the sides of the pot smoothly
3. Transfer to an electric mixer with the paddle attachment, beating in the eggs added one at a time, adding each one only after the last has been incorporated. Batter should be stiff enough to hold stiff peaks.
4. Place the batter into a piping bag or small bowl.
5. Heat 4″ oil for frying (peanut oil works the best, but Canola is also satisfactory), in a high sided pot or deep fryer to 360F.
6. CAREFULLY drop ½”x 2″ lengths or small quenelles (oblong balls) into the hot oil. Fry until a deep gold brown. Generally, the dough will be fully cooked 3-4 minutes after having risen to the surface of the oil.
7. Scoop out the cooked Pepsi, draining excess oil, dust liberally with powdered sugar and serve as is, or make it a fried Pepsi Float with the addition of ice cream!
