2 1/2 lb. flour (about 10 c.)
1 c. sugar
1 cube butter
1 tsp. salt
1 c. milk
2 yeast cakes or 2 pkg. dry yeast, dissolved in 1/2 c. warm water
12 eggs, beaten

Be sure that all ingredients are at room temperature. Scald milk. Add butter and sugar. Cool. Add eggs and yeast. Mix with flour until smooth (use hands or large mixer). Batter should be soft. Let rise until doubled.

Drop by handfuls into hot oil. (Deep fry.) Fry until golden brown. Before dropping in oil pull dough into circles. Some people like to have "fingers" of dough. They fry crisp and fattening. When done drain on paper towels. Roll in sugar either granulated or confectioners'. Eat warm.
