Ingredients:
|
3 tablespoons lukewarm milk
|
1 teaspoon sugar
|
3 teaspoons flour
|
1 pkg. fresh yeast
|
4 cups flour
|
1/2 teaspoon salt
|
1/2 pint sweet cream
|
1/2 pint milk

4 egg yolks

|
Directions:
Combine lukewarm milk, 1 teaspoon sugar, 3 teaspoons flour and yeast; Stir to dissolve; set aside until foamy.
Mix together the 4 cups flour and salt. In saucepan, heat cream, milk, 6 tablespoons sugar and butter only until butter melts; cool. Make a well in flour and add milk mixture, yeast and egg yolks, Beat with a wooden spoon until the dough is smoothe and has a bubbly consistency. Place dough in a bowl, cover and let rise in warm place about 2 hours.
Roll out dough on lightly floured surface until about 1/2 inch thickness. Cut doughnuts with round cutter. Cover the cut-out doughnuts and let rise again.
Fry krofi in shortening. Do not crowd in the pan. Turn only once so that you get a nice white ring around the center. Remove and place on paper towels to drain. When cool, sprinkle with powdered sugar.
