Number Of Ingredients 15

DOUGH
1/4 c warm water (105f to 115f)
2 pkg active dry yeast
1 1/2 c milk
1/2 c sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
5 Tbsp butter
2 eggs
5 c all purpose flour
SUGAR/SPICE MIX FOR ROLLING
1 c sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg
oil for frying

Steps:

  • 1. Dissolve yeast in warm water in a large bowl.
  • 2. In a saucepan, combine the milk, sugar, salt, cinnamon and butter. (Cut the butter into small pieces for easier melting.) Heat to 110F or lukewarm, but not too hot for the yeast mixture.
  • 3. Add milk mixture with the eggs and 2 cups of flour to the dissolved yeast. Beat until smooth. Beat in remaining flour. The dough will be soft and sticky.
  • 4. Let rise for about 1 hour, stir down.
  • 5. Turn dough out onto a well-floured surface. Roll in flour to coat.
  • 6. With a rolling pin, gently roll into an 8 x 24-inch rectangle. With a sharp knife cut into 1-inch crosswise strips.
  • 7. Bring ends of two strips together and twist strands loosely. Repeat with remaining strips.
  • 8. Let rise on floured board or pan for 20-30 minutes until almost doubled.
  • 9. Heat 1-inch oil in a skillet to 350F. Fry on both sides, about 3 minutes total. Drain.
  • 10. Coat in sugar and spice mixture.
