Jersey Wonders

published by commischefguide on Mar 29, 2009

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
