Instructions
Step-by-step guide to making this recipe
1

Combine the salt, sugar, warm water, and yeast in a medium-size bowl. Set aside for about 5–7 minutes.

5–7 minutes

2

Add the flour and mix very well; if you have a mixer, use it.

3

Let the mixture rise for approximately 2 hours.

2 hours

4

Pour the vegetable oil in a large saucepan until it reaches at least 5 cm deep—too little oil will result in flatter fritter. Heat over medium heat—a drop of batter should rise to the surface and start sizzling.

5

Use a spoon or your hands to drop dollops of batter into the hot oil. Fry for a few minutes until golden brown on one side. Turn the ball to the other side and fry until golden brown.

6

Use a large perforated spoon to remove the fritters and place them on paper towels to soak up excess oil.

7

If desired, roll the finished product in powdered sugar or table sugar.
