Recipe type: Bread
Serves: 12-15
Ingredients
  • 1½ cups warm water
  • 2¼ tsp yeast (one packet if using packets)
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp dry or powdered milk
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 4 cups flour
  • oil for frying Approx. 3-4 cups
Instructions
  1. In a medium size mixing bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water, add honey, and dry milk. Stir well.
  2. Add salt and flour, mix with a fork until completely mixed and doughy, or use your mixer with the dough hook. Once dough is mixed, cover and let rise for 1-2 hours or until doubled in size.
  3. Add a little flour and punch down and Knead a little (you don't need to take it out of the bowl, just push it around and add a little flour at a time if it is sticky.
  4. Heat the oil in a fry daddy or deep, large sauce pan. On my stove I put it on medium high...a little closer to high than to medium. You can test the oil to see if it is ready by dropping a pea sized piece of dough in the oil. If it is ready the dough will be immediately covered with little bubbles and sizzle when you put it in.
  5. Pull off golf ball sized pieces of dough and use your fingers to flatten and shape them. Do this carefully so you don't poke holes in the dough.
  6. Place the flattened dough into the hot oil (you can probably fit two or three at a time) you will be able to see on the edges when they are ready to flip. The edges will turn a light tan color. Flip and then cook until the other side is the same color.
  7. Serve while still warm.
