מצרכים

• 2½ cups (about 312 g) plain flour
• 2 teaspoons instant yeast (or 2½ teaspoons active dry yeast)
• 5 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste)
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
• 1¼–1½ cups (300–360 ml) warm water
• Vegetable oil for frying

אופן ההכנה

1. If using active dry yeast: Mix the yeast with the warm water and 1 tablespoon of the sugar. Leave for 5–10 minutes until foamy. If using instant yeast, simply mix it with the dry ingredients.
2. Combine the flour, remaining sugar, salt, and nutmeg.
3. Gradually add the warm water and mix until you have a smooth, thick, sticky batter. It should slowly fall off the spoon—not be runny.
4. Cover and let the batter rise in a warm place for 45–90 minutes, or until doubled in size.
5. Heat oil over medium heat to about 170–180°C.
6. Scoop or squeeze small portions of batter into the hot oil.
7. Fry for 3–5 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown all over.
8. Drain on kitchen paper and enjoy warm.
