PORTUGUESE MALASADAS
Why I Love This Recipe
These are great when served with jam and whip cream, but not to calorie-wise!
Ingredients You'll Need
1/2 c. warm water
2 env. packaged dry yeast
1/2 c. lukewarm milk
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. butter
2 eggs, beaten
1 tsp. salt
4 to 5 c. flour
Cooking oil
Directions
Pour warm water into mixing bowl and add dry yeast, stirring
to dissolve. Into this, stir milk, sugar, butter, eggs, salt
and 3 1/2 cups flour; mix with spoon until smooth. Gradually
add enough remaining flour to handle easily. Mix by hand and
turn out to lightly floured board.
Knead until smooth and elastic. Place in greased bowl and
let rise until dough doubles. Heat oil to 375 degrees.
Break piece of dough into size desired. Stretch out and
drop into hot oil. Fry until golden then roll in sugar.
