(2 \u00bc tsps OR 4g)<br \/>\n1\/3 cup (80 ml) warm water (110F-115)<br \/>\n\u00bd cup (100 g) sugar<br \/>\n2 eggs<br \/>\n\u00be cup (180 ml) of evaporated milk<br \/>\n2 tsp (10 ml) salt<br \/>\n3 \u00bd cups (420 g) of flour + \u00bd  cup (60 g) for kneading and rolling out<br \/>\n4 tbsp (60 g) of softened butter<br \/>\n\u00bd cup (50 g) confectioners sugar<br \/>\nvegetable oil for frying<\/p>\n<p>METHOD:<\/p>\n<p>Add yeast, water and sugar in a bowl.<\/p>\n<p>In a smaller bowl combine eggs, milk and salt. Mix well.  Add this mixture to yeast mixture and whisk to combine well.<\/p>\n<p>Then add 2 cups (240 g) of the flour and mix with a wooden spoon until combined, add softened butter in slices and continue to mix.  Then add the remaining 1 \u00bd (180 g) cups of flour.<\/p>\n<p>Remove dough from the bowl and turn out onto a well-floured surface.  Have \u00bc cup of flour standing by to work into the dough in case it is still too sticky.<\/p>\n<p>Continue kneading until dough is smooth.  Form the dough into a ball. Place in a cleaned out bowl lightly greased with vegetable oil.  Cover with a dishtowel and place in a draft free place for 2 hours. (I love to place in my oven, with the oven turned off.  It&#8217;s a great draft-free area!  Just make sure none comes along and turns the oven on!) <\/p>\n<p>Alternately you can place in your fridge to rise overnight.<\/p>\n<p>Once risen, roll out onto a well-floured surface and form into a large rectangle. Cut into 3&#8243; x 2&#8243; rectangles for frying. <\/p>\n<p>Heat 4 inches of oil in a large Dutch oven to 370 degrees.  Lower dough into oil with a spider strainer or slotted spoon.<\/p>\n<p>Fry dough until golden brown on one side, and then turn and fry until golden on the other side.  Remove and allow to drain on a sheet pan lined with paper towels. Dust with powdered sugar. Serve with a caf\u00e9 au lait. \u263a Enjoy!<\/p>\n<p>Entertaining with Beth is a weekly food series hosted by Beth Le Manach sharing easy recipes for elegant entertaining, that are also simple enough for a weeknight meal!
