Aunt Phyllis Sinkers!
2 cups all-purpose
flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 4 large eggs
- 1/3 + cup milk, (or water)
INSTRUCTIONS
- In a
bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, and salt. Stir until the
batter is well combined and develops bubbles. You can also use a mixer.
The batter should neither be too thin nor too thick or it will be
difficult to make the sinkers with your sinker maker. Let the batter sit
for 5-10 min.
- Put a
colander into a bowl to drain the sinkers once cooked and bring a large
pot of water over high heat to a boil, add about 1 Tbsp of salt to the
water, and reduce temperature to a simmer.
- Press
batter through a sinker maker, a large holed sieve or a colander into the
simmering water.
- Work in
batches, after using about 1/3 of the batter stop adding new sinkers and
let them cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until they float to the top. Stir
occasionally. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the sinkers to the colander
so that excess water can drip off.
- Serve
the sinkers immediately or sinkers them in butter to crisp them up a
little. If you don't serve or saute them right away, add 1 or 2 Tbsp of
butter to the hot sinkers to prevent them from sticking together.
