1

Pour 2 cups of flour into a clean bowl.

2

Add 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1 teaspoon of yeast to the flour.

3

Add a small amount of nut milk (about 1 teaspoon) and some water into the bowl.

4

Mix the ingredients in the bowl until combined, using fingers to knead the dough.

5

If the dough is too soft, continue mixing and add more flour as needed until the texture is right and bubbles form, indicating the yeast is working.

6

Cover the dough and let it rise for 1.5 hours, preferably in a warm place like the oven.

7

After the dough has risen, heat oil in a pan to about 90°C.

8

Test the oil by dropping a small piece of dough into it; if it rises immediately, the oil is ready.

9

Shape the dough into balls and carefully place them into the hot oil for frying.

10

Fry the dough balls for about 5 to 8 minutes until they are golden brown and cooked through.

11

Remove the dough balls from the oil and drain excess oil.

12

Sprinkle sugar on top of the fried dough balls for sweetness.
