★Ingredients
2 tablespoons sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup warm water
1 teaspoon active dry yeast
Honey or syrup (optional, for drizzling)
Vegetable oil (for frying)
★Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Gradually add warm water and mix until you get a smooth, stretchy dough. Cover the bowl and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours until doubled in size.
- Heat the Oil: In a deep frying pan or pot, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking.
- Form the Dough Balls: Using a spoon or piping bag, drop small portions of dough into the hot oil. The dough will expand and form small balls as they cook.
- Fry Until Golden: Fry the dough balls, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown on all sides. This should take about 3-5 minutes. Remove from oil and place on paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Serve and Enjoy: Transfer the fried dough balls to a serving plate. For added sweetness, drizzle with honey or syrup before serving. Enjoy them warm for the best taste!
