Does anybody know how to make sfinci (sicilian donuts)?
Here’s the recipe my friend’s grandmother gave me… Enjoy! Sfinci 5 cups (500 g) flour 3 eggs and 3 yolks 1 cup (200 g) sugar An ounce (25 g) of live yeast cake 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 cup milk Olive oil for frying (or other, if you prefer) Warm the milk and dissolve the yeast in it. Mix it into the flour, together with the eggs, yolks, sugar, and vanilla, and work the ingredients together until you have a soft dough. Let it rise until bubbles form at the surface, then heat abundant oil in a high-sided pot and drop the dough into it a few tablespoons at a time, lest the oil cool overmuch. Remove the sfinci when they’ve turned golden and drain them on absorbent paper, then dust them with a bit more sugar and serve them.
