Malassadas - Portuguese Fried Dough

1 Box of Pillsbury Hot Roll Mix

2 eggs

1 cup of milk

1 lemon peel grated

salt

1/2 cup of Hot water

1 pack of yeast

1 tablespoon sugar

1 40oz bottle of vegetable oil

1 cup of granulated sugar.

Dissolve yeast in the hot water and sugar. Wait until it's fermented. Takes a few minutes.

In a large mixing bowl mix flour, 2 eggs, milk, lemon, salt. Mix with clean hands to knead the dough until mixed very well. Add the yeast mixture.

Cover with a clean dish towel and let sit for an hour to rise.

After it has risen heat oil to 350 degrees or test with small piece of dough.

Grab a handful of raw and shape it into a small round shape. Almost like making a pizza dough. Place the dough into the hot oil. It should brown in a couple minutes only. Carefully turn them to cook on other side for a couple minutes. Place dough onto tray lined with paper towels or paper bags to absorb excess oil.

Sprinkle granulated sugar over them on both sides.
