# Instructions:
01 -
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature and combine flour, sugar, and yeast in a mixing bowl.
02 -
Add oat milk, softened butter, vanilla extract, and black cherry flavor to the dry ingredients. Mix for 2 minutes on low speed, then knead for 8 minutes on medium-high speed until the dough is smooth.

Shape the dough into a ball, place it in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm, non-drafty place for 1-2 hours.

Once risen, divide the dough into 4-6 even pieces, shape them into balls, and flatten slightly. Place on a floured sheet, leaving space between them. Cover and let rise for another 30-45 minutes.

Heat oil in a wide skillet or pot to 340-355°F (170-180°C).

Gently transfer dough balls into the hot oil, fry until golden brown (about 2-3 minutes per side), and transfer to paper towels to drain excess oil.
07 -
Follow package or recipe instructions to prepare whipping cream. Season with lemon juice and black cherry flavor if desired.
