• 300g flour
• 7g instant yeast
• 300ml warm water
• 1 tsp sugar, ½ tsp salt
• oil for deep frying
• honey, warmed
• cinnamon and crushed walnuts

👩‍🍳 Method

1. Whisk the flour, yeast, sugar, salt and water into a very loose, sticky batter — nearer a thick pancake batter than a dough.
2. Cover and leave somewhere warm 1 hr until bubbly and roughly doubled.
3. Heat oil to 175°C. Wet your hand, squeeze a walnut-sized blob of batter up between thumb and finger and flick it in with a wet spoon.
4. Fry until deep gold all over, 3 min, turning them as they bob.
5. Drain briefly, then drown in warm honey while still hot.
6. Cinnamon and walnuts on top. They go leathery within the hour, so this is a make-and-eat dessert.
