How About Some Spurgos?

In my own right I’m known as a pretty fair chef so I’ve borrowed Dave Norris’ Luthianian cookbook to come up with my version of “Spurgos” or to you not in the know, Donuts that will even block your cravings for Dunkin Donuts. Here is the recipe-

INGREDIENTS
2 pounds flour
2 cups milk
3 ounces fresh yeast
8 egg yolks
1 cup sugar
1 ounce rum
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 tablespoons sugar
powdered sugar
And oil for deep frying

Preparation
Make dough with warm milk and one third of flour, add blended yeast with sugar, mix well. Cover and let rise for 1/2 hour. Beat egg yolks with salt, add to risen dough, mix well. Add melted butter, rum, vanilla and remaining flour. Mix well. Knead dough until it looses shine.

Cover dough and let rise for 1 hour. Take walnut size pieces of dough and form round donuts, let rise. Heat oil, drop donuts and fry on both sides until golden brown, about 8 minutes for each side. Drain donuts on paper towels or brown paper, dust with powdered sugar while still warm.

Then get set for a treat that you won’t soon forget!
