In a small bowl or measuring cup combine the warm water, sugar and yeast and stir. Let it proof for 5 minutes.

In your mixer (using your whisks) combine the eggs, evaporated milk and salt, beat until combined.

With the mixer on low, add in the yeast mixture to the egg mixture.

Still mixing on low add in 3 C of the bread flour..

Add the shortening in and continue to mix

Switch to your dough hook then add more bread flour 1/2 C at a time until the dough cleans the bowl as it mixes. you may use less or more than the recipe calls for.

If you have a bosch keem mixing the dough on med until smooth (if you don't then you can hand knead).

Grease a bowl and place the dough inside, cover with a damp towel, set the bowl in a warm area and let it rise for 2 hours, it should double in size.

Sprinkle your counter with a ton of flour, the dough wil be crazy sticky.  Place the dough on top , sprinkle more flour on top and roll out the dough to 1/4? thick. (don't knead in the flour, just use it to keep the dough from sticking to the counter or rolling pin)

Slice into 2 inch squares with a pizza cutter.

Heat vegetable oil in a Dutch oven until the temperature reaches 350 degrees.

Then place a few dough squares at a time in the hot oil and watch the magic happen! It's AWESOME

Turn them at least once so they don’t burn on one side. Cook about 1 1/2-2 mins on each side

When you remove them, place them on a cooling rack over a papper towel/newspaper

Dust with a light layer (or heavy layer) of powdered sugar

Serve warm!

These were amazing. I will definitely make these again!
