Number Of Ingredients 17

Pastry:
2 pkg active dry yeast
1/2 C warm water
1/2 C half and half cream
1/4 C sugar
1/4 C shortening
1 egg
1 t salt
1/2 t ground nutmeg
3 C flour + approx. additional 1/2 C flour
oil for frying
Chocolate frosting:
2 oz semisweet chocolate
2 T butter
1 C powdered sugar
2 T boiling water
1 t vanilla

Steps:

  • Pastry: In large bowl dissolve yeast in warm water. Add cream, sugar, shortening, egg, salt, nutmeg, and flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough of the additional 1/2 C of flour to make the batter a soft dough. Will be sticky. Use any remaining flour to flour work surface and turn dough out. Knead until smooth and elastic about 6-8 minutes. Place kneaded dough into a greased bowl, cover and allow to rise in a warm spot until doubled (about an hour) Punch risen dough down and divide in half. Turn dough out onto floured surface and roll each half into a 12x6" rectangle. Cut rectangle into 3x2" rectangles. Place cut dough on greased baking sheets, cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled (about 30 minutes) In an electric skillet or deep fryer heat oil to 375. Fry the pastries until golden brown on both sides. Set fried pastries on paper towels to drain and cool. Prepare frosting: In microwave or over a double boiler melt chocolate and butter. Stir until smooth. Stir in remaining ingredients and spread over completely cooled pastries.

These chocolate long johns are a great way to use up leftover chocolate. They are so easy to make and they taste delicious. I love that they can be made ahead of time and then reheated when you're ready to serve.

I was a little hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of chocolate, but I'm so glad I did! These chocolate long johns are amazing. They are so light and fluffy, and the chocolate filling is the perfect amount of sweetness.
