Directions:
Mix warm water, yeast , sugar and salt and set aside. Mix milk and oleo and heat until oleo is melted. Remove from heat. I use a large Tupperware bowl with seal. Add milk and oleo mixture to beaten eggs. Mix well. Add warm water, yeast, sugar and salt mixture and mix well. This is all mixed by hand after eggs are beaten. Slowly add 6 cups of flour, mixing well. Drain raisins and mix with one cup of flour, tossing lightly. Stir into mixture (mixture will be very soft). Cover and let rise till dough reaches lid. Meanwhile, in deep-fat fryer, heat 3 quarts oil to 375º. Carefully spoon raised mixture into hot grease - not too big. Brown on both sides and remove (use tongs). Drain on wire rack. Glaze. Makes about 90 to 95 cookies.
Recipe can easily be cut in half.
