# What You Need:
→ Dough
01 - 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
02 - 1 cup warm milk (about 110°F)
03 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
04 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
05 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
06 - 2 1/2 to 3 cups all-purpose flour
→ For Frying
07 - 3 cups vegetable oil
→ Topping
08 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
09 - 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
10 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (optional)
# How to Make:
01 - Dissolve yeast in warm milk with 2 tablespoons sugar in a large bowl. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
02 - Stir in melted butter and salt. Gradually add 2 1/2 cups flour, adding more flour a tablespoon at a time if sticky, until dough is soft and smooth.
03 - Knead dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until elastic. Place in greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
04 - Combine granulated sugar and cinnamon in a shallow dish; set aside.
05 - Punch down dough and divide into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then stretch or roll into a thin 8-inch oval.
06 - Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven to 350°F.
07 - Fry one or two dough ovals at a time, turning once, until golden brown and puffed, approximately 1 minute per side. Drain on paper towels.
08 - Optional: Brush with melted butter, then immediately dredge both sides in cinnamon sugar. Serve warm.
