1/2 cups Lard, Melted

Directions

1

Note: Prep time does not include rising time.
2

Combine first three ingredients and let stand for 10 minutes.
3

Scald 6 cups milk in a pan. Scalding milk means bringing it nearly to a boil, preferably in a thick-bottomed pan while stirring actively, to keep a protein skin from forming on the surface and keep the proteins and sugar from sticking to the bottom.
4

Once milk is done, beat into it the next 5 ingredients, adding in raisins or chopped apple if desired. Let rise until double in bulk.
5

Once risen: Drop by tablespoon into hot oil (375 - 400 degrees), and fry until golden. Drain on a paper towel, then dust with powdered sugar.
