  1. In a bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and yeast; let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add flour and salt to the yeast mixture and stir until a smooth batter forms.
  3. Cover and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Notes

Keep an eye on them while they’re frying; they can turn golden brown quickly. If you want a twist, try adding a pinch of cinnamon to the sugar before sprinkling it on top.
