Making fried dough requires strict adherence to physical constraints, specifically managing steam and starch gelatinization without relying on eggs or dairy. Pouring boiling water directly onto all-purpose flour forces the starch granules to swell instantly, creating a paste that holds its shape under pressure without collapsing into a liquid batter.
Proper starch hydration prevents the pipes of the piping bag from blowing out under the manual pressure needed to extrude thick dough. Controlling the thermal gradient between the exterior crust and interior crumb transforms a simple flour-and-water paste into a shatteringly crisp snack.
