I live in Holland, Michigan and these are just a few of the traditional recipes I've collected from people I know who probably brought them from the old country. Enjoy! Ingredients:
1 package active dry yeast |
1 teaspoon sugar |
3/4 cup water |
3 eggs, beaten |
2 cups milk, warm |
3 tablespoons light corn syrup |
1 lb raisins (many people from the old country would set store bought raisins in water to soak overnight.) |
4 cups flour |
1 tablespoon salt |
Directions:
1. Dissolve yeast and sugar in water.
2. let stand in warm place for 30 minutes.
3. Combine eggs, milk, syrup, raisins and yeast mixture in large kettle. Sift flour and salt into mixture and mix well for 2 to 3 minutes.
4. Test a spoonful of dough to see if it will fall in lump form from the spoon.
5. If not, add a little more water or milk.
6. Let rise in warm place for 2 hours.
7. Drop by tablespoonful into deep, hot fat. Fry until brown.
