1 pkg active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water
1 TBS sugar
2 cups flour
3/4 tsp salt
Oil for frying
Proof yeast with warm water and sugar.
Add yeast mixture to flour and salt.
Add enough water to form a slack and sticky dough - just enough to absorb the flour.
Mix well and turn out onto a board to knead.
Knead dough and capture as much air as possible into the dough.
Dough will eventually become smooth and springy.
Set aside to rest for 1/2 hour.
Move dough onto floured surface and cut into 8 equal portions.
While covering the remaining dough, roll one piece at a time out into circles.
Set aside and cover with parchment until all pieces are rolled out.
In a large frying pan, heat 4" of oil to 375 degrees.
Using a bit of dough, test oil temperature - dough should sizzle and swell.
Place dough circles, one at a time, carefully into hot oil to fry - turning only once - until each side is golden.
Serve warm with any topping, sweet or savory:
Sour Cream and grated cheese, ham, rubbed with garlic or garlic butter, even cinnamon and sugar.
