Portzelky (New Year'S Cookies)


1. Dissolve sugar in lukewarm water in a small bowl. Sprinkle with yeast and let stand.

2. Combine milk, water, salt, sugar, baking powder, and raisins in a large bowl or in the bowl of a stand mixer.

3. Beat in egg yolks and yeast.

4. Stir in flour to make a heavy (rather stiff) batter.

5. Fold in egg whites.

6. Cover and set in a warm place until well risen (at least double in bulk). This should take about 2 hours. The end result is a fairly sticky dough.

7. Drop by tablespoonfuls into hot oil (375F) and fry until golden brown.
