Time 2h5m

Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 teaspoon white sugar
½ cup lukewarm water
1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
2 cups raisins
3 eggs
1 cup lukewarm milk
½ teaspoon salt
3 cups all-purpose flour, or as needed
1 quart vegetable oil for frying
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar for dusting, or as needed

Steps:

Dissolve sugar in lukewarm water in a large bowl and sprinkle yeast over the top. Let yeast activate until it forms a creamy layer on top of the water, about 10 minutes.
Rinse raisins and pat dry with paper towels. Stir raisins into yeast mixture; beat eggs, lukewarm milk, and salt into yeast mixture. Beat flour into liquid ingredients until dough is smooth. If dough is too sticky, beat in 1/4 cup more flour. Cover dough and set aside in a warm place to rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
Heat vegetable oil to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) in a large saucepan or deep fat fryer.
Scoop up dough by tablespoon and drop, a few at a time, into the hot oil. Fry until lightly browned; drain on wire racks set over paper towels. Dust with confectioners' sugar.

PORTZELKY (NEW YEAR'S COOKIES)

Portzelky (New Year's Cookies) image

This is a traditional Mennonite recipe from the Mennonite Treasury cookbook. It is basically a type of fritter with raisins. For as long as I can remember, my mother served these for lunch on New Year's Day along with Farmer Sausage and dill pickles. This year I tried making them myself and they turned out just as I remember. This will be a New Year's tradition that I hope to carry on. We like them hot right out of the deep fryer but you can also roll them in icing sugar and serve at room temperature. The prep time includes rising time.

1/2 cup lukewarm water
2 teaspoons active dry yeast

1/2 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 cups raisins (or as many as you would like)
