Make it step by step

Method

  1. 1

    Whisk flour, sugar, yeast and nutmeg in a large bowl.

  2. 2

    Add warm water gradually and beat until the batter is smooth and stretchy.

  3. 3

    Cover and leave in a warm place for 45 minutes, until doubled and bubbly.

  4. 4

    Heat oil to 170°C and carefully drop in rounded spoonfuls of batter.

  5. 5

    Fry for 4–5 minutes, turning until evenly golden; drain and serve warm.

Chef’s tip

Wet the spoon between scoops so the batter slides cleanly into the oil.
