âThis is a very old recipe from my aunt that I revamped to use my bread machine,â writes Peggy Burdick of Burlington, Michigan. The pastries are deep-fried, then glazed with a simple maple frosting. âTheyâre very good for coffee breaks,â she notes. Ingredients:
1 cup water (70° to 80°) |
1 egg |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/4 cup shortening |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
3 cups king arthur unbleached bread flour |
2-1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast |
oil for deep-fat frying |
glaze: |
2 cups confectioners' sugar |
1/4 cup half-and-half cream |
1 tablespoon maple flavoring |
Directions:
1. In bread machine pan, place the first eight ingredients in order suggested by manufacturer. Select dough setting (check dough after 5 minutes of mixing; add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water or flour if needed).
2. When cycle is completed, turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Divide into four portions. Roll each into a 12-in. x 5-in. rectangle. Cut each rectangle widthwise into 1-1/2-in. strips.
3. In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat oil to 375°. Drop dough strips, a few at a time, into hot oil. Turn with a slotted spoon and fry for 1 minute on each side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
4. In a small bowl, combine the glaze ingredients. Place the long johns on a wire rack; drizzle with glaze. Yield: about 2-1/2 dozen.
