Malasadas - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
    1 teaspoon white sugar
    1/4 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
    6 eggs
    6 cups all-purpose flour
    1/2 cup white sugar
    1/4 cup butter, melted
    1 cup evaporated milk
    1 cup water
    1 teaspoon salt
    2 quarts vegetable oil for frying
    2 cups white sugar
Preparation
    Dissolve yeast and 1 teaspoon sugar in 1/4 cup warm water; set aside.
    In small bowl, beat eggs until thick.
    Put flour in large bowl, making a well in the center. Into the well add yeast, eggs, 1/2 cup sugar, melted butter, milk, 1 cup water, and salt. Beat thoroughly to form a soft, smooth dough. Cover, let dough rise until doubled.
    Heat oil to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Drop dough by big teaspoonfuls into oil, fry until golden brown. Drain on paper towels, shake in a bag of sugar to coat, and serve hot.
