5 c. flour
2 pkg. yeast

2 tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. salt
4 tbsp. oil
1 egg
1/2 box raisins
Vegetable oil for frying (about 2 to 3 inch frying pan or deep fryer)

Dissolve yeast in water with 2 tablespoons sugar. Add part of the flour with the salt and mix well. Beat in egg and add oil. Add remaining flour and raisins. Let rise for 1 hour.
