1 Cup = 250 ML
Ingredients
½ Cup Homemade Evaporated Milk
½ Cup Water
2 Tablespoons Shortening or Clarified Butter
2 Cups Self Raising flour
½ Teaspoon Salt
Vegetable Oil as required for frying
For Serving
Icing Sugar - for dusting
Dulce de Leche or Fruit Jam
Method
Heat evaporated milk and clarified butter in small saucepan or microwave just until melted. Don't boil it.
Combine flour and salt in medium bowl. Make a hole in the center. Pour the hot evaporated milk into the hole; Stir this with a wooden spoon until it forms a soft dough. Put the dough on a lightly floured surface; Knead until soft and pliable (you may need a few drops of water).
Cut the dough into 15 to 16 equal pieces, roll each piece to form a smooth ball. Use a rolling pin to roll each ball into a circle about ¼ inch thick. Use your hands to form circles and make a hole in the center by piercing each circle with one finger.
Heat oil in large skillet. Carefully drop 4 rings of dough into hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove the cakes and drain them on paper towels. Repeat this with the rest of the dough rings.
Dust them with icing sugar.Serve them warm with dulce de leche, a favorite fruit jam or nothing.
Few were remaining these I broke into pieces and enjoyed with my soup.. they go well, use these instead of bread!!
