ingredients

Prepare Yeast
3 tablespoons yeast
2 tablespoons sugar
³⁄₄ cup warm water
Dough
2 cups sugar
¹⁄₂ lb melted margarine
2 cups warm water
2 cups warm milk
8 eggs
¹⁄₂ teaspoon salt
¹⁄₂ teaspoon nutmeg
9 cups flour
Frosting
1 cup powdered sugar
2 -3 tablespoons milk

directions

Proof the yeast with warm water and sugar for 10 minutes.
Mix remaining ingredients in order given along with the proofed yeast mixture.
This may need more of less flour depending on your environment. I live at high altitude and it seems to vary. Just make sure that the dough looks like it is mixed enough so that you could use your hands with it.
Cover dough and let rise until double.
Roll out dough on floured surface and cut into 2 inch circles with a biscuit or cookie cutter. Set circles on the side and let rise again to double size.
Fry in small batches in canola oil or shortening until brown, flipping halfway through to get the other side. Drain on paper towels or a brown paper bag.
Serve with jam or drizzle with powdered sugar frosting.

These were super good! They got rave reviews from all who tried them! I ended up using quite a bit more flour than what was listed (about a cup more). I filled mine as well- with fillings my children picked out; strawberry jam, apricot jam, and vanilla pudding. Sounds strange but they were great! I used a pastry bag with a pastry tip to fill them. I also modified the recipe by 2/3rds, there were no problems there. I know what Im doing next Fat Tuesday! Thanks for sharing!

I come from a very Polish family with 5 brothers and a sister. I love to cook just about anything Polish and I'm pretty good at cleaning out the refridgerator and making something worth eating. Just got married on 07/07/07, so I would love to get some Just for 2 dinner menus. Finally enjoying the wonderful California weather. I haven't started baking, but I'm really excited to get back into the contests here. <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/adopted_1_1.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/beartag_1_1.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting> <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/200_PACpic.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket> <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/pacbanner.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket> <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/smPACp.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket> <img src=http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/1535/CLC2.gif> <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PAC08Main.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket>
