Ingredients

1 c Milk lukewarm

30 g Compressed yeast =OR= 1 pk Active dry yeast

2 c Plain flour

Honey warm

Ground cinnamon

1 tb Caster sugar

1/2 ts Salt

1 Egg beaten

1/4 c Butter melted


Directions

Dissolve yeast in 2 tablespoons of the lukewarm milk. Add remaining milk, sugar, egg and lukewarm melted butter. Sift flour and salt into a warm bowl and gradually stir in mixed liquids. Beat until smooth and continue beating for 1 minute. Cover with folded cloth and leave in a warm place for 1-1/2 hours until batter doubles in bulk with bubbles on the surface. Stir well then drop teaspoonfuls into deep, hot oil (190?C or 375F) ~ do 4 to 5 at a time. Turn puffs to brown evenly and remove with a slotted spoon (each puff takes about a minute to cook.) Drain on absorbent paper and pile on to a plate. Drizzle each layer with warm honey and sprinkle with cinnamon. Serve hot.
