Eleanore Weingartner (thanks, Grandma!)

1 1/2 C. cooked rice
2 C. milk (divided into 1 1/2 C. and 1/2 C.)
1/3 C. sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
1 egg, beaten
1 T. oleo
1/2 tsp. vanilla
2/3 C. raisins (optional)

Raised Donuts
Ingredients:
1 can evaporated milk
1 can hot water (the milk plus the water equals about 3 C.)
1 C. mashed potatoes
1 C. oleo
1 C. sugar
3 eggs
1 1/2 tsp. salt
2 pkg. dry yeast
7 or 8 C. flour (maybe more)

Directions:
Combine ingredients and mix with electric mixer at medium speed. Add only 2 C. flour at first and mix for 5 minutes. Mix remaining flour in with a spoon (I use a wooden spoon). You don't need to knead this.
Let rise in warm place, covered, for 30 to 45 minutes (until double in bulk).
Spread quite a bit of flour on board, table, or counter. Press dough down with hands. Roll to 1/2 inch thick. Cut and let rise about 45 minutes.
Fry in deep fat. Makes 6-8 dozen.
To make a glaze for the donuts, use powdered sugar and hot water.

Finnish Biscuit
From
Sally Weingartner (and her mother uses it, too!)
Ingredients:
1 can evaporated milk (or about 3 1/2 C. milk)
1 can hot water
1/2 C. oleo
1 C. sugar
1 tsp. (fist) salt
2 pkg. dry yeast
10 whole cardamon, ground up
3 or 4 eggs
10-12 C. flour

Directions:
Scald milk (150 degrees). Melt oleo in milk after scalding. Cool to "warm to the touch."
Add sugar and salt. Mix in. Add yeast, cardamon, eggs, and flour. Knead until dough leaves hands.
Let rise to top of bowl or pan. Make into rolls, loaves, braids, etc. (E-mail me if you want to know what I'm talking about or how to do any of these!)
Let rise in pans. Bake at 375 for about 20-25 minutes. Rolls take less time than loaves.
