What to do with left-over rice?????

[AGoodCook]

2 1/2 cups cold, cooked rice
3/4 cup flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 tsp grated lemon peel
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp cinnamon
3 eggs
1 package yeast
Peanut oil for frying
Place rice in a large mixing bowl. Stir in the flour, sugar, lemon, salt, nutmeg & cinnam,on.. Beat the eggs with the yeast and stir in. Beat well. Cover the bowl with a clean white dis towel and let it stand in a warm place for about an hour. The batter will become thick and foamy. Pour the oil in a large heavy skillet to a depth of at least 2 inches. Heat to 375 and carefully drop batter into the hot oil. Fry only a few at a time, about 2 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels and sprinklwe wtih powdered sugar. May serve with preserves, maple or cane syrup. Serve warm...
Or my Aunt Lo Dee's version:
1 package dry yeats
1 & 1/2 cups cooked, cool rice
3 eggs, beated
1 & 1/4 cup rice flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp. lemon zest
Oil for frying
Flavored powdered sugar

The night befor you make these, disolve the yeast into 1/4 cup of warm water. Mix yeat with the rice. Cover and allow to stand in a warm place OVERNIGHT. In the morning, blend the eggs, rice, flour, brown sugar, salt, lemon zest, cinnamon & nutmeg into the rice mixture. Add water (if needed), a little at a time and mix well.
Heat oil and to 375 degrees. Using a serving spoon make the mixture into small balls and place them in the heated oil. Fry until golden on bothe sides. Turn only once. Drain and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
Hope you enjoy them!
