I saw a feature story on the news today about the rising popularity of fried butter. Basically, it fried dough with melted butter inside. They take the dough, put a glob of butter on it, roll it up, then drop it in the deep fryer. When it comes out it's a piece of rolled up fried dough and when you tear it open or bite into it, melted butter oozes out all over the place. (Nutritional value: zero).
I love fried dough (although I probably only have a chance to eat it about 3 or 4 times per decade). Never tried fried butter, though.
