Sfenj

Ingredients

• 250 g flour
• baker’s yeast
• 1 tsp salt
• about 1/4 l water
• oil for frying
• sugar, water and a little honey for the syrup

Method

1. Dissolve the yeast in warm water and mix with the flour and salt.
2. Gradually add water and knead, preferably in a mixer, until a semi-liquid, sticky dough forms.
3. Boil sugar and water into a syrup until a drop on a plate no longer spreads; add a little honey and take off the heat.
4. Heat the oil until it smokes.
5. Take an egg-sized portion of dough with your fingers, stretch it into a ring and lay it in the oil; it is easier to scoop the dough with one spoon and push it into the oil with a second.
6. Fry until golden, drain and dip into the syrup.
