Things You'll Need:
- 1 package dry yeast
- 8 fl. oz. warm milk
- 8 tbsp. sugar (divided)
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 stick softened, unsalted butter
- Cooking spray
- Cooking oil
- Powdered sugar (optional)
-
Step 1
Mix one package of dry yeast with the warmed milk in a small bowl.
-
Step 2
Add 1 tbsp. of sugar to the yeast and milk mixture. Stir well to combine the ingredients and set the bowl aside.
-
Step 3
Combine the salt, flour and remaining sugar together in a large mixing bowl.
-
Step 4
Crack eggs into another small bowl. Remove any shell if necessary. Whisk the eggs well.
-
Step 5
Pour the eggs and the milk mixture into the dry ingredients from Step 3 and blend well.
-
Step 6
Put the softened butter into the mixture from Step 5. Cream the ingredients together using a spatula.
-
Step 7
Transfer the dough to another large bowl greased with cooking spray. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow the dough to rise in the refrigerator for approximately 2 hours.
-
Step 8
Remove the risen dough from the refrigerator and break off a piece of the dough. Roll the dough out into a circular shape (no less than 1/8-inch thick). Continue making the dough rounds as you fry each piece to use up all the dough.
-
Step 9
Drop the dough into a large frying pan containing hot (360 degrees F) cooking oil and fry until dough appears golden brown. Flip the dough once during cooking to brown both sides.
-
Step 10
Drain the fried dough on a paper towel covered plate and sprinkle powdered sugar on top of the fried dough, if desired. Serve hot.
