Ingredients
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 tsp active dry yeast , (4 g)
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour , (255 g)
- 2 tbsp butter , melted
- 1/4 tsp salt , (1 g)
Cinnamon sugar
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar , (140 g)
- 2 tsp cinnamon , (2 g)
- 1/4 cup butter , melted
- lemon wedges , optional
Instructions
- MICROWAVE milk until warm, 45 sec. Pour into bowl of a stand mixer fitted with dough hook. Add yeast and stir. Let stand for 5 min.
- ADD flour, 2 tbsp butter and salt. Beat on medium-low until dough forms a ball and is very smooth, about 5 min.
- SPRAY a medium bowl with oil. Line a large baking sheet with parchment. Lightly spray with oil.
- SCRAPE dough out of mixer bowl into oiled bowl. Lightly oil top of dough and cover with a damp tea towel (not terry cloth). Let stand in a warm place until dough doubles in size, about 1 hour.
- DIVIDE dough into 8 portions. Roll each into a ball, then arrange on prepared sheet. Cover with same damp tea towel and let stand, 15 min.
- ROLL out each portion on a floured surface into 1/8 in. thick ovals. Transfer to prepared sheet. Cover with same damp tea towel and let stand, 15 more min.
- POUR oil into a large pot until it reaches 1 in. up the sides (about 6 cups). Clip a deep-fry thermometer to the side. Heat over medium until temperature reaches 325F. Adjust heat as necessary to keep temperature at 325F during cooking. Fry dough, 1 piece at a time, flipping often, until golden, 2 to 3 min. Drain on paper towels.
- STIR sugar with cinnamon on a plate until combined. Brush tops and bottoms of castor tails with 1/4 cup butter. Dip both sides into sugar until well coated. Serve with lemon wedges.
