10g (1 bag) yeast
20 g sugar
125 ml (½ c) lukewarm milk
15g butter, melted and cooled
1 egg, lightly beaten
oil for deep-frying

Instructions

1 Mix the yeast, sugar, milk, butter and egg with the dough hook of a mixer. Add the flour a little at a time and mix until a dough forms. Knead for 3-4 minutes until elastic. Cover with a clean cloth. Leave in a warm place until double the size.

2 Knead the dough lightly. Roll on a clean, lightly floured work surface and cut of 7-8 cm circles with a cookie cutter.

3 Cut a hole with a smaller, round cookie cutter in the middle. Let rest for 20 minutes. Heat the oil over medium heat in a deep saucepan. Fry the balls 3 to 4 at a time for 3 to 4 minutes until done.

4 Shake the hot balls immediately in cinnamon sugar and repeat with the remaining dough.
