Equipment

Electric Mixer or mix manually

Ingredients

4½ cups All-purpose flour
¼ cup Melted butter or margarine
2 cups Warm milk or water
2 large Eggs at room temperature
1 cup Sugar
1 tsp. Salt
1 tsp. Nutmeg lemon zest, Vanilla Extract
2½ tsp. Yeast I used instant yeast
2 teaspoon Turmeric powder
Oil to deep fry

Instructions

Add the warm milk or water, instant yeast, melted butter, eggs and sugar to a mixing bowl and whisk to combine.
NOTE: If using active dry yeast, mix the yeast and milk, and then allow it to proof for 5 minutes before adding the other ingredients.
Add the flour, salt, turmeric powder and nutmeg.
Using the dough hook, mix at medium speed for 8 minutes or until the dough forms a ball. You can mix manually with your hands, but it will take a long time.
Rub oil on the dough and cover with a cloth. Let it rise for 1 hour 30 minutes.
Press the dough to release air bubbles, and divide it into 15 - 20 potions or according to your desired portions.
Roll the dough into smooth, tight buns and place them on a floured surface or tray, leaving enough room between them.
Cover again with a cloth and let it proof again for 30 minutes.
Add oil to a pot on medium heat. It should be at least 3 inches deep. Fry the buns until they are golden brown on both sides.
Regulate your heat as you fry so they don't burn or undercook.
Remove and place on an absorbent paper and serve when warm or cool.
