Ingredients:

3 cups flour
1 cup raw sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3 eggs
3/4 cup evaporated milk
2 tablespoons melted butter, or margarine
Rind of one orange, chopped

Procedure

Sift flour with sugar and baking powder. Mix in eggs, evaporated milk, butter and orange rind. Let stand for at least 30 minutes. Heat deep fat to 375 degrees F. Stir dough once before frying. Scoop dough with hand, lift palm and turn downward, and squeeze dough through thumb and index finger, shaping a round ball.
