2 envs. active dry yeast
1-1/2 c. warm water
4 c. all-purpose flour
1 t. salt
oil for frying
Garnish: sugar
Dissolve yeast in very warm water, about 110 to 115 degrees. Let stand for a few minutes. Combine flour and salt in a separate bowl. Stir in yeast mixture; blend well. Cover and let rise until double in size, about 2-1/2 to 3 hours. Add 2 inches of oil to a large skillet. Heat until hot, about 375 degrees. Drop tablespoonfuls of dough into hot oil, a few at a time; cook until lightly golden on both sides. Drain on paper towels; sprinkle with sugar while still warm. Makes 2 dozen.
