SHENKLI (SWISS DOUGHNUTS)
Posted for ZWT II. This is adapted from a really nice Ohio cookbook that I received in a recent Zaar cookbook swap. I haven't tried this yet. Prep/cook time is a guess, and servings are an estimate because the original recipe is a little unclear about how big you are supposed to make the doughnuts.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the final product, so be sure to use fresh, high-quality ingredients whenever possible.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the donuts tough and chewy, so be careful not to overdo it. Mix the dough just until it comes together and is smooth.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place: This will help the donuts to become light and fluffy. If you don't have a warm place, you can place the dough in a warm oven with the light on.
- Fry the donuts in hot oil: The oil should be between 350°F and 375°F. If the oil is too hot, the donuts will burn; if it's too cold, they won't cook through.
- Drain the donuts on paper towels: This will help to remove any excess oil.
- Coat the donuts in sugar or cinnamon sugar: This is optional, but it adds a delicious sweetness to the donuts.
