1 tb Dried yeast 1 ts Sugar or honey 1 c Warm water 8 oz (225 g) ww flour 1/2 ts Salt Olive or vegetable oil for Deep-frying Honey Powdered cinnamon
Mix water, sugar, yeast, and 2 oz flour until smooth. Let rise until
doubles in size. Add the salt and the rest of the flour, and enough
water to make a thick batter. Cover and allow to rise again and begin
to bubble. This takes 1 – 2 hours.
Heat the oil in a deep-frying pan (I used a wok) and when the oil is
hot drop in tsp size balls of batter. The dough will puff up and turn
light brown. Remove with a strainer and put on a serving dish. Spoon
honey or syrup (I heated the honey to make it runnier) over the
doughnuts and sprinkle with cinnamon powder. Serve hot.
** Next time I plan to add cinnamon and nutmeg to the batter along
with the flour to give them more spice.
