Would that were true in my part of the world. When I try to promote
such .... like Medicare for All - I get some far-right-wing doofus who
says "That's socialism." like that's a bad thing.

I *always* reply "Don't like socialism? Build your own roads. Hire your
own teachers to school your kids. Take your own chances on the safety 
of your food."   Bv)=

I know that their statement is just a knee-jerk reaction that has been
promoted by Big Medicine and the John Birch Society. But, I answer anyway.

      Title: Simple Knee Caps
 Categories: Breads, Snacks, Desserts
      Yield: 1 Batch
 
      2 oz Compressed yeast
    1/4 c  Sugar
     11 c  Flour
    3/4 c  Sugar
      5 ts Salt
      1 c  Lard or lard/butter mix
      2 c  Warm water
      2 c  Warm milk
      3 lg Eggs; beaten
 
  Crumble yeast into bowl. Sprinkle the 1/4 cup sugar
  over the yeast and mix to blend (this will melt down
  to a liquid in a few minutes).
  
  Meanwhile, combine flour, the 3/4 cup sugar, and salt.
  Cut lard into the flour mixture as for pie crust.
  
  Stir in warm liquids, eggs and yeast mixture, stir
  vigorously or mix with hands. When it is mixed enough,
  bubbles might form in the dough or it becomes less
  sticky.
  
  Put into a large bowl, cover and let raise until double
  or has risen to the top of the container. It can also be
  placed in the refrigerator overnight.
  
  Then in the morning it is ready to shape. If you do not
  wish to make it all at one time it will keep in the
  fridge three days. Shape dough into small balls, let
  raise double in size then press center of ball.
  
  Deep fry with depression side down 1 to 2 minutes turn
  over and 1 to 2 minutes more in 375°F/190°C oil.
  
  When cooled sprinkle with powered sugar and whipped
  cream in the center.
