Preparation

Step 1

one. Measure the milk in to a measuring jug and then add the boiling water, a teaspoon of the sugar and the yeast. Stir it and leave the jug in a warm place for about ten minutes till the yeast mixture froths. Put the remainder of the sugar, the salt and the flour in to a bowl and rub in the butter. Then pour in the beaten egg and frothy yeast mixture and stir and mix to a smooth dough. If it seems a small dry add a teaspoon or so of warm water.

two. Turn the dough out onto a board and knead for about ten minutes by which time it ought to feel springy and show slight blisters under the surface. Return it to the bowl, cover with a damp cloth and leave in a warm place to rise until double in size, about 45 minutes to an hour.

three. When it's risen, tip it out onto a board and punch it down to disperse giant air bubbles. Divide the dough in to 24 equal parts and shape in to balls.

four. One time formed, deep fry in about 1/2 of oil until they turn golden brown, turning over one time. Do no overcrowd the wok or giant skillet.

five. Drain on paper towels
