Reicpe Building - Deep Frying?
How do you add the calories to deep fry something when you build a recipe? I know, deep frying is taboo here - but, it is time for a once a year treat (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fasnacht_(doughnut)) and I don't believe in giving up those sorts of treats. Something once a year won't do me in!
