PORTUGUESE SONHOS

* This is a recipe I found somewhere on the internet a few years ago. This is NOT my recipe.

Ingredients:

6 extra-large eggs 2 cups flour 3/4 cup water 3/4 cup milk 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 stick butter 1 slice lemon rind Sugar and cinnamon for topping

Directions: In a large pan, place water, butter, lemon rind, milk, and salt over medium heat to boiling. Sir in the flour and stir with a wooden spoon until flour becomes a soft dough which turns into a ball shape that separates from sides of pan. Remove the dough from heat and place into a medium bowl and let cool for a few minutes. Beat in one egg at a time making a smooth batter. Heat oil to 365⁰. Shape the dough into round donuts by using 2 large tablespoons.

Fry the dough by 4 or 5 pieces at a time until golden brown and pierce the sonhos slightly as they cook. Drain on paper towels. While still hot, roll the sonhos in a mixture of sugar and cinnamon. Enjoy!
