RFCJ RECIPE ARCHIVE
Posted by : Yael Fried Puffs, Dutch for Hanukkah - dairy
This is a recipe I have used before from "Deal Delights 2," a cookbook published by a local sisterhood. It is fried, but on Chanukah that is like baking I think. *3/4 cup milk *1/2 cup sugar *1/4 cup oil *2 eggs *3 tsp baking powder *1/2 tsp salt *2-1/2 cups flour *1/2 cup raisins or chopped apples (optional) *1/4 cup sugar mixed with 1/2 tsp cinnamon *************************** 1) In large bowl on low speed mix milk, sugar, oil, eggs, baking powder, salt, and 1 cup of the flour. scrape bowl constantly and mix only about 30 seconds until combined. Increase speed to medium and continue mixing for 2 minutes scraping bowl as needed. 2) stir in remaining flour and fruit (if using fruit). 3)In a high sided fryer heat 2-3 inches of oil. Drop batter by teaspoonsfull into hot oil. as the puffs rise turn them. Fry for about 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels or brown bags (preferred). 4)Roll puffs in sugar mixture before serving. Note: At my house we always drained fried foods on brown paper grocery bags on a cookie sheet in the oven at 200- 250 degrees and they are never greasy. This works for all fried Chanukah foods.
