Home Cooking Recipes
Required Ingredients:
- 1 (0.6 ounce) cake compressed fresh yeast
- 1 cup lukewarm milk
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 egg
- 3/4 cup dried currants
- 3/4 cup raisins
- 1 Granny Smith apple - peeled, cored and finely chopped
- 1 quart vegetable oil for deep-frying
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar for dusting
Preparing/Cooking:
- Break up the compressed yeast, and stir into the warm milk.
- Let stand for a few minutes to dissolve.
- Sift the flour and salt into a large bowl.
- Stir the yeast mixture and egg into the flour and mix into a smooth batter.
- Stir in the currants, raisins and apple.
- Cover the bowl, and leave the batter in a warm place to rise until double in size.
- This will take about 1 hour.
- Heat the oil in a deep-fryer, or heavy deep pan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Use 2 metal spoons to shape scoops of dough into balls, and drop them carefully into the hot oil.
- Fry the balls until golden brown, about 8 minutes.
- The doughnuts should be soft and not greasy.
- If the oil is not hot enough, the outside will be tough and the insides greasy.
- Drain finished doughnuts on paper towels and dust with confectioners' sugar.
- Serve them piled on a dish with more confectioners' sugar dusted over them.
- Eat them hot if possible.
