1 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
-
1 cup warm whole milk (110° to 115°)
-
2/3 cup sugar
-
1/2 cup butter, softened
-
2 large eggs

1/2 teaspoon salt

6 to 7 cups all-purpose flour

FILLING:
-
3 tablespoons flour
-
1 cup whole milk
-
1 cup butter, softened
-
1 cup sugar
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1/4 to 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
Directions
-
1.
In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the milk, sugar, butter, eggs and salt; mix well. Stir in enough flour to form a soft dough. Do not knead. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
-
2.
Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; roll into a 15x8-in. rectangle. Cut into 3x1-in. rectangles. Place on greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes.
-
3.
In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat oil to 375°. Fry, a few at a time, until golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels.
-
4.
For filling, in a small saucepan, combine flour and milk until smooth. Bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened and bubbly; cool.
-
5.
In a small bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla. Add cooled flour mixture; beat until fluffy. Gradually beat in enough confectioners' sugar to achieve a spreadable consistency.
-
6.
While sticks are still warm, make a cut in the top of each; fill with filling.
