Watching  the TV show AFC , they have a show about this fried dough called Shakoy make me really curious how it's taste like , so I start searching from the web for this Philippines dish and I found it here:http://lutongpinoy.info/shakoy-or-butsi/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+LutongPinoyRecipe+%28LUTONG+PINOY+RECIPE%29. 

It taste more like doughnut  and churros for me, but the most important thing that my kids like it...:)

Shakoy

Ingredients:

2 cups all purpose flour
1 Tbsp rapid rise yeast
½ tsp salt
Water enough to make soft dough
1 cup oil
½ cup white sugar 

I put additional touch of ground cinnamon to the sugar (optional)

Directions:

1. In a bowl, mix flour, salt and yeast.
2. Add enough water and mix thoroughly to form soft dough.
3. Turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead. You need dough smooth and not sticky.
4. Place dough into bowl, cover with damp cloth. I place my dough in the oven with light on.
5. Let it rise for 1 hour or until the size is doubled.
6. Punch down dough, knead on a floured surface and form into a log.
7. Cut into pieces, 1-1/2 inches long.
8. Roll each piece into a long stick as thick as your finger.
9. Twist.
10. Place it on the baking sheet, cover with damp cloth, and let it rise for another hour.

After an Hour:

1. Heat oil in a deep pan. I used wok! If you have a fryer the better.
2. Drop shakoy one at a time.
3. Cook each side until brown.
4. Drain, and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.
