Classic Baursaki
Description
The pastry is simple and quick to prepare. You might ask, what are baursaki? These are small doughnuts made from yeast dough, fried in a large amount of vegetable oil or clarified fat. Baursaki can be served as an accompaniment to shurpa, or dusted with powdered sugar and served as a dessert with tea and coffee. Today I want to share with you a classic recipe.
