Ingredients

  • 4 cups plain flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons instant yeast
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 2 cups warm water, approximately
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla, optional
  • Vegetable oil for frying

How to make it

  1. Mix flour, sugar, yeast, salt and nutmeg in a large bowl.
  2. Add warm water gradually and mix into a thick, stretchy batter. Add vanilla if desired.
  3. Cover and leave in a warm place for 45 to 60 minutes until doubled and bubbly.
  4. Heat oil over medium heat. Test with a tiny amount of batter; it should rise steadily without burning.
  5. Scoop small portions of batter into the oil and fry in batches, turning for even browning.
  6. Drain and cool slightly before serving.
