Ingredients
- 1 1/4 sticks unsalted Butter
- 4 Eggs
- 2 cups Milk
- 1/2 cup Sugar
- Pinch of Salt
- 1 package Yeast
- Enough Flour to make a firm dough
- Oil for frying
- Powdered Sugar
Directions
- In a small bowl, combine the yeast and 1/2 cup of the milk (luke warm). Mix in 3 tablespoons flour and 1 teaspoon of the sugar. Allow this mixture to sit in a warm place for 1 hour.
- Combine remaining dough ingredients then add in the yeast mixture. Mix until a smooth dough forms, then knead by hand. Allow dough to sit in a warm place until double in volume.
- Knead the dough to eliminate the pockets of air. Divide dough into tablespoon size pieces. Press flat each piece of dough. Allow dough pieces to rise again for 1 hour.
- Heat oil in a large pot or deep-frier.
- Take each piece of dough and stretch it out again – large enough that it would be able to cover your knee. Fry each stretched-out piece of dough until golden brown on both sides. Remove from oil and allow to drip dry on paper towels. Dust with powdered sugar.
