1 (2/3 oz.) cake yeast
1 c. milk
2 1/4 c. flour
2 tsp. salt
1 egg
1 1/2 c. raisins, washed
1 tart (cooking) apple
Oil for deep frying

First blend the yeast with a little lukewarm milk. Sift the flour and salt. Add milk, mix to a batter with yeast and egg. Add raisins and peeled, diced apple. Leave batter in warm place to rise to double its size.

Heat the fat to 375 degrees. Put 2 metal spoons into the batter. Shape balls with the spoons and drop them into the fat. Fry them for 8 minutes until brown. They should be soft and should not be grease-soaked inside. If they are fried too slowly the crust becomes hard and tough and they become greasy. Drain on absorbent paper. Serve with confectioners sugar.
