I've been living in The Villages 2.5 years, and have enjoyed events at all three squares. I can't recall ever seeing a fried dough truck at any of them. Have I just not noticed? Or have there not been any?

Is this something any of you would like? If it is, maybe we (or I, sure I'll do it) could give the Villages Entertainment a head's up. Maybe they could reach out to local food truck vendors and see if any of them offer fried dough (or know a vendor that does - most of them know each other).

I liked all three versions that I've had when I lived up north: fried dough pizza, with sauce and parmesan cheese...cinnamon-sugar fried dough...and butter and powdered sugar fried dough.

Really bad for that girlish figure but it's such a great treat once in awhile!

There was one at Brownwood a couple of months ago. I forget if it was a normal market day or
something special. I had a cinnamon sugar one and a lemonade

In the south we call them funnel cakes. Been a while since I have had one

I buy some pizza dough and make our own. Easy Peazy.

Similar but made with batter not dough comfort food.

Glad to know they're available down here, even if it's just once in awhile! And no I won't be making my own, and funnel cakes are definitely different. Same general idea but not the same.

Disney has the best funnel cakes. Well drained, 3 different kinds, with a special one for each event at Epcot, funnel cake is a thin light batter, similar to pancake or waffle batter, that is run thru a funnel into the hot oil, with a round lacy outcome. Then you can eat plain, add powder sugar, or cinnamon. Then top with fruit, ice cream, or all of the above.

OP you didn’t state what kind of dough, pie, pizza. If that’s what you are looking, you can use air fryer, or bake in the oven, for a quick snack. I keep pie dough cut into squares, in the freezer, and bake them for dessert, to add fresh fruit, or scooping fruit spread, or pudding

How did some food become “comfort food” that was marketing genius - imagine George Washington asking Martha for some comfort food because he had a bad day at the office….
