Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon white sugar
- 1/2 cup lukewarm water
- 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
- 2 cups raisins
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup lukewarm milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups all-purpose flour, or as needed
- 1 quart vegetable oil for frying
- 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar for dusting, or as needed
Method
- Dissolve sugar in lukewarm water in a large bowl and sprinkle yeast over the top. Let yeast activate until it forms a creamy layer on top of the water, about 10 minutes.
- Rinse raisins and pat dry with paper towels. Stir raisins into yeast mixture; beat eggs, lukewarm milk, and salt into yeast mixture. Beat flour into liquid ingredients until dough is smooth. If dough is too sticky, beat in 1/4 cup more flour. Cover dough and set aside in a warm place to rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
- Heat vegetable oil to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) in a large saucepan or deep fat fryer.
- Scoop up dough by tablespoon and drop, a few at a time, into the hot oil. Fry until lightly browned; drain on wire racks set over paper towels. Dust with confectioners' sugar.
