Nana's portzelky

8 beaten eggs
2 cups milk
1 cup cream
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp salt
3 lbs raisins
flour
2 Tbsp instant yeast
1/2 cup sugar
powdered sugar

Mix wet ingredients. Mix dry ingredients, including some flour, then add to the wet. Add enough flour to make a sticky batter, then add in the raisins. Let rise until double in bulk. Drop by tablespoonfuls into hot fat (350-400) and deep-fry. Dust very generously with powdered sugar.

Note: for 5-6 people, a quarter recipe is plenty:

2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup cream
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
raisins
flour (likely 1.5-2 cups???)
1/2 Tbsp instant yeast
1/8 cup sugar
