Add 2 cups of warm water to a bowl.

Add 1/2 cup of sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the warm water.

Add 2 1/2 teaspoons of yeast to the mixture and stir. Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes to activate the yeast.

Gradually add 5 cups of flour to the mixture, mixing until a beautiful texture is achieved.

Add 3 tablespoons of powdered milk and mix well.

Add 1 egg at room temperature and 100 g of soft butter to the mixture.

Mix until you have a smooth dough that is not sticky.

Shape the dough into a ball, cover with a clean cloth, and let it rest for 1 hour until it doubles in size.

After resting, knead the dough lightly and shape it into small balls, ensuring one side is smooth and the other is rough.

Heat oil for frying, ensuring it is not too hot.

Fry the shaped dough until both sides are golden brown, flipping as necessary.

Garnish with sugar if desired.
