3. While potatoes are still warm, add flour mixture with butter, egg and warm milk. Using your hands, bring all ingredients together to form a soft dough. 
4. Roll walnut-size balls into 10cm long sausages. Shape sausages into a doughnut. Place on a floured tray, 3cm apart. . Stand, covered, in a warm place, for 30 minutes or until double in size.
