Ingrédients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 sachet (10 g) instant yeast
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp melted butter or oil
- 1 ½ cups warm milk (or water)
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt.
- Add melted butter or oil, then gradually mix in the warm milk to form a soft dough.
- Knead the dough for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Cover the bowl with a cloth and let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Punch down the dough and divide it into equal portions (about golf-ball size for small rolls, larger if preferred).
- Shape each portion into a smooth ball and place on a lightly floured surface. Let them rest for 10–15 minutes.
- Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Test the oil by dropping a small piece of dough in — it should sizzle and rise slowly.
- Fry the dough balls in batches until golden brown on all sides, about 3–5 minutes per batch. Turn carefully with a slotted spoon.
- Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
- Serve warm, plain or filled with butter, jam, cheese, or mince.
