·
Add the flour, salt and sugar to a large bowl
and mix.
·
Stir in the yeast.
·
Cut up the butter into small chunks and lightly
rub it into the flour mix. You DON’T want to end up with a breadcrumb
consistency and lumps of butter should remain.
·
Measure the milk and water into a microwaveable
jug and heat in the microwave in 10 sec bursts until lukewarm.
·
Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in
the milk, water and lightly beaten egg.
·
Begin combining the ingredients using a silicone
spatula or wooden spoon until the dough starts to come together. Then use your
hands to mix until no flour remains around the edge of the bowl.
·
Cover the bowl with cling film and allow the
dough to rest for 1 hour.
·
Place the dough onto a lightly floured work
surface and knead the dough a little to make it less sticky.
·
Roll out the dough into a long rectangle, then
fold both short ends so they meet in the middle.
·
Next fold the dough like a book and roll out
into a rectangle again. Repeat the folding process 3-4 times.
·
Pop the dough back into the mixing bowl, cover
with cling film and let it rest for 30 mins.
·
Roll the dough into a large rectangle, approx.
1cm thick.
·
Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut the
dough into 12 strips approx. 3cm wide.
·
Make a cut down the length of each strip,
leaving a 2cm gap at each end.
·
Twist each strip and place them on a lightly
oiled baking tray. The twists of dough will double in size so leave plenty of
space between each.
·
Cover the baking tray with cling film and place
in a warm area until the twists of dough have doubled in size.
·
Heat your oil in a large, heavy bottomed pan
until it reaches 170°C. You want the oil to be approx. 1cm deep.
·
While the oil is heating, mix the icing sugar
with the water until smooth.
·
Fry the yum yums 2 at a time for 2 mins on each
side, or until golden. Check the oil temperature as you fry each set of yum
yums as it will fluctuate. If the temperature is too cool, the yum yums will
end up greasy and if the temperature is too hot, the outside will cook too
quickly.
·
Place the cooked yum yums on a wire rack and
immediately brush each side with the icing while they are hot.
