Description

Delicious fried cookies loaded with raisins, perfect for any occasion!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 eggs
  • 4 ½ cups milk (warmed)
  • 1 Tbsp salt (heaping)
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 2 Tbsp yeast (dissolved in ½ cup warm water)
  • 2 Tbsp canola oil
  • 13 cups flour (approximately)
  • 5 cups raisins (make sure they are new & fresh)
  • More granulated sugar (for rolling the cookies in after frying)
  • A lot of oil for frying the cookies

Instructions

  1. Beat the eggs in a large bowl and add the milk, salt, sugar, dissolved yeast, and oil.
  2. Blend in the flour until a stiff, spongy dough forms.
  3. Add the raisins.
  4. Cover the bowl and let the dough rise in a warm place for several hours or overnight until it has doubled in size.
  5. Punch the risen dough down.
  6. Heat the oil in a deep fryer to 300-305 degrees F, using a candy thermometer.
  7. Drop the dough by spoonfuls into hot oil and cook until golden brown on all sides.
  8. Remove the “cookies” and place them on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
  9. Once drained and slightly cooled, roll each cookie in granulated sugar while still warm.
  10. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Ensure the raisins are fresh for the best flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of flour as necessary to achieve the desired dough consistency.
