Step by Step Method

Step 1

In a bowl blend the eggs and sugar together (do not beat).

Step 2

In another bowl dissolve the yeast in the water and mix with the milk. Combine with the egg/sugar mixture. Stir in the salt and flour. Beat well.

Step 3

Place in a warm place to rise until bubbly (45 minutes - one hour).

Step 4

Heat the shortening or oil (4 inches deep) in a pan to about 375 degrees F.

Step 5

Cut a corner in a plastic bag to make an opening 1/8 inch in diameter.

Step 6

Put about 1 cup of the batter into the bag and squeeze it through the opening into the hot fat, moving the bag in a continuous round to form a bird's nest shape (3-4 inches in diameter). Fry for one minute on each side using a slotted spoon or fork to turn). Remove form fat and drain on paper towels. Repeat for remainder of the batter.

Step 7

When cool, sift confectioners' sugar over the crullers.
