Golden Fried Yeast Dough Balls with Nutmeg

What you need

• 450 ml (1 3/4 cups plus 2 tbsp) warm water
• 7 g (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
• 420 g (3 1/2 cups) all-purpose flour

• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1 l (4 cups) vegetable oil, for deep frying

Method

Restated from the original video

1. 1

   Stir the yeast into the water and leave it for 5 min until foamy.

2. 2

   Mix the flour, sugar, salt and nutmeg in a large bowl.

3. 3

   Pour in the yeast water and beat with a wooden spoon or your hand for 2 min into a thick, smooth, sticky batter.

4. 4

   Cover the bowl and leave it somewhere warm until the batter doubles and is full of bubbles, 1-1 1/2 hours.

5. 5

   Stir the batter once to knock out the biggest bubbles.

6. 6

   Pour the oil into a deep heavy pot to a depth of 6 cm (2 1/2 in) and heat to 175 °C (350 °F). A drop of batter should sizzle and rise to the top within a few seconds.

7. 7

   Squeeze a ball of batter about 4 cm (1 1/2 in) wide up through your fist, cut it off with your thumb, or push it off a spoon, and drop it into the oil. Fry 6-8 balls at a time.

8. 8

   Fry, turning often, until deep golden all over and cooked through, 4-5 min. If they brown faster than that, lower the heat.

9. 9

   Lift out with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

10. 10

    Serve warm.
