Ingredients:
2 packages dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water
1 Tbsp. sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup boiling water
1/2 cup butter
2 tsp. salt
3 eggs, beaten
4 + 1/2 cups flour
Directions:
In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in the 1/2 cup warm water. Add the 1 T. sugar and set aside. In a large bowl add the 1/2 cup sugar, boiling water, butter, and salt. Stir till blended then add the eggs and mix well. Then add the yeast mixture and 2 cups of flour. Beat with a mixer until smooth. Add the remaining 2 + 1/2 cups of flour and mix by hand until blended. Let rise for 1 hour.
After 1 hour place the dough in the refrigerator until it is chilled. Once chilled, roll out dough on a lightly floured surface until it is thin (about 1/4 inch). Cut dough into 3-inch squares and fry in hot oil. Serve warm with honey or cinnamon butter.
Tip: Once the dough is cut into squares you can freeze them to use for the future. Just unthaw the dough at room temperature until it is completely thawed and then fry it in hot oil.
