Jersey Wonders
Traditional channel island recip.Jersey Wonders are never coated in sugar, nor filled with jam, yet taste like doughnuts.
Ingredients
- vanilla essence
- 1 ½ Ib self raising flour
- 4 oz butter
- 8 oz caster sugar
- 6 eggs
Method
1.Sieve flour and sugar and rub in butter(chopped into small pieces)
2.Add eggs and vanilla to make a light dough.
3.With floured hands make the dough into golf ball sized shapes. Place these on a lightly floured tray and cover with a damp cloth for two hours to rise
4.Then roll out each of the balls into oblongs two inches by four inches.
5.With a sharp knife slit the centre of each oblong and twist the top end (of the oblong) through the slit.
6.Drop four to six Wonders at a time into deepfryer, cook for 2 minutes on each side until golden brown.
7.Leave to cool serve with cinnamon dusted on top although my jersey wife would frown
