Found this in one of my MIL's old (late 1970's) era Betty Crocker Picture Cookbooks . The recipe looks lovely, so I decided to post it before we loose it. Ingredients:
3 eggs |
1 (8 ounce) container plain yogurt |
3 tablespoons butter |
2 cups all-purpose flour (if using self-rising, leave out the baking powder and salt that follow) |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg (fresh grated, if you can) |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
vegetable oil (for frying) |
1/4 cup butter, softened |
1/4 cup honey |
Directions:
1. Beat eggs on high until well mixed (when they turn about lemon colored), 3 minutes, give or take. Add yogurt and butter, mixing on low.
2. Once yogurt and butter are well mixed, keep the mixer on low, and *Slowly* add the dry goods-flour, baking powder, baking soda, nutmeg and salt.
3. Heat 2-3 inches of oil to 360 degrees F/186 degrees C in a heavy frying pan, 3-quart pot, or electric deep fryer.
4. Drop dough by the teaspoonful (level, if you can) into the oil, and fry till light golden brown, about 2 minutes; drain well.
5. Serve warm with honey-butter dip (see below).
6. Honey-Butter Dip: Beat 1/4 cup softened butter and 1/4 cup honey together on medium-low speed until light and fluffy.
