Instructions

Sift the flour and salt into a bowl. Rub in the butter or lard until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add the sugar and spices. In a saucepan, warm the milk, then sprinkle over the yeast and leave until frothy. Add the yeast mixture to the flour. Knead to get a firm dough.

On a lightly floured surface knead for approximately 10 minutes until a smooth dough forms.

Transfer the dough back into the bowl, cover with a tea towel and leave to rise in a warm place for 1.5 hours. When doubled in size, knock it back and knead again.

Form the dough to balls. Combine the currants, sugar and cinnamon. Make a small hole into the balls and insert a little of the mixture. Seal the hole with the dough.

Allow to rest at a warm place for 10 minutes.

In a saucepan heat the oil and deep-fry the the doughnuts in batches until golden brown on both sides.

Drain on kitchen paper.

Toss in the caster sugar and cinnamon mixture and serve fresh.
