Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix the warm milk, yeast and a spoonful of sugar, then let it rest for 10 minutes.
  2. Add the flour, remaining sugar, salt, egg and melted butter, then mix until you get a soft dough.
  3. Cover and let it rise for 1 hour in a warm place, until doubled in size.
  4. Gently fold the raisins, diced apple and cinnamon into the dough.
  5. Heat oil to 170 °C in a deep pan or deep fryer.
  6. Scoop spoonfuls of dough and fry them in small batches for 4 to 5 minutes, turning them, until nicely golden.
  7. Drain on paper towels, dust with icing sugar and serve warm.

Variations and tips

Without frying. Arrange the balls on a tray and bake at 180 °C for 15 to 20 minutes for a lighter version.
