Ingredients: 2 packages active dry yeast 1/2 cup warm water, 105 to 115 degrees 1 cup warm milk, 105 to 115 degrees 1/4 cup sugar 1 teaspoon salt 2 eggs, lightly beaten 1/2 cup butter, melted and cooled 3 cups sifted flour high quality vegetable oil, for deep-frying 1 cup honey, or to taste ground cinnamon, to taste
Directions: In a small bowl, sprinkle yeast over the warm water and let stand to soften (about 5 minutes).
Meanwhile, pour milk into a large bowl and add sugar and salt. Stir in yeast mixture and eggs; add butter and beat well.
Slowly add flour, beating continuously until batter is smooth, sticky, and thick. Add more flour as needed to arrive at correct consistency.
Cover bowl with a tea towel and let dough rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk (2 to 3 hours).
In a medium saucepan, pour oil to a depth of 3 or 4 inches and heat to 360 degrees F. While oil is heating, pour some honey into a small saucepan and place over very low heat to warm. Stir batter well.
Drop batter from a tablespoon into hot oil and cook, turning spoonfuls in oil, until batter puffs and is golden brown on all sides (about 2 minutes).
Remove with a slotted utensil to paper towels to drain briefly, then arrange a layer of the puffs on a platter. Drizzle with warm honey, dust with cinnamon, and top with a second layer of puffs.
Continue in this manner until all the puffs are layered and dressed. Serve at once.
