In a large glass dissolve yeast with 100 ml milk and 2 Tbsp sugar, cover and let rise to fill the glass. Than add yeast to the flour and add enough milk so you get soft dough. Let it rest covered for about 30 minutes.

Heat oil in a deep pan. Takes pieces of the dough with a teaspoon and drop into hot oil. Fry on all sides until golden. Take them out on a paper towel to drain the excess oil.
