Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 84 servings

  • 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast

  • 1 teaspoon white sugar

  • ¼ cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)

  • 6 eggs

  • 6 cups all-purpose flour

  • ½ cup white sugar

  • ¼ cup butter, melted

  • 1 cup evaporated milk

  • 1 cup water

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 2 quarts vegetable oil for frying

  • 2 cups white sugar

Directions

  1. Dissolve yeast and 1 teaspoon sugar in 1/4 cup warm water; set aside.

  2. In small bowl, beat eggs until thick.

  3. Put flour in large bowl, making a well in the center. Into the well add yeast, eggs, 1/2 cup sugar, melted butter, milk, 1 cup water, and salt. Beat thoroughly to form a soft, smooth dough. Cover, let dough rise until doubled.

  4. Heat oil to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Drop dough by big teaspoonfuls into oil, fry until golden brown. Drain on paper towels, shake in a bag of sugar to coat, and serve hot.
