Instructions

1. In a bowl, dissolve the yeast in the lukewarm water with the sugar and let it rest for 5 minutes.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the centre and add the eggs, the yogurt and the yeast mixture.
3. Knead for 5 to 8 minutes until you get a soft, slightly sticky dough. Cover and let it rise for 1 hour in a warm place.
4. Divide the dough into small balls the size of a walnut and let them rest for 10 minutes under a cloth.
5. Heat the oil to 170 °C in a large deep saucepan.
6. Drop the balls in small batches and fry for 3 to 4 minutes, turning them, until they are well golden.
7. Drain on paper towels and dust with icing sugar or drizzle with honey. Serve lukewarm.
