Fat Balls

 

2 packages instant dry yeast

4 cups warm milk

6 to 8 cups flour, divided

5 eggs

1-tablespoon salt

1-cup raisins

 

Dissolve yeast in ½ cup of the milk. In large pan (12 quart size), put 4 cups of the flour, making a hollow in center. Pour remaining warm milk and yeast milk mixture into hollow with the eggs, salt and as much of the remaining flour as you need to make a soft sticky, “stir-able” dough (this will not be stiff like bread). Cover pan and let dough rise in warm place for about 2 hours. Stir down, and add raisins, then drop tablespoonfuls of dough into hot oil, frying until brown on both sides (first the dough drops down to the bottom; when it comes back up to the surface the fat balls are done). While fat balls are still warm, shake in a bag of powdered sugar and serve immediately.
