    In deep fat fryer or heavy saucepan, heat 4 inches oil to 350°F over medium-high heat.

    2
    Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix sauce and dressing; set aside in refrigerator.
  •  
    3
    Separate dough into 8 triangles. Cut each triangle lengthwise in half.

    Fry in batches in hot oil 1 1/2 to 2 minutes or until browned all over, turning halfway through frying to ensure even cooking. Drain on paper towels. Serve with sauce.

Expert Tips

  • Tip 1
    Get the most out of your oil by frying unbreaded veggies first, followed by breaded veggies or cheese, then finally fish, chicken or pork.
  • Tip 2
    These party-pleasing bites are great with the sauce for adults, but for kid-friendly flair, try serving with marinara or honey mustard.
