Svinge – Fried Sweet Dough

Ingredients

• 1-1/2 Cups of flour
• 1/2 Teaspoon salt
• 1 Teaspoon instant yeast

Directions

Mix all ingredients together.  Let the batter sit for three hours until it has doubled or tripled in size.  Heat oil in a frying pan.  Wet your hands and tear off plum-sized pieces of the dough.  Stretch them a bit and form a hole in the middle.  Fry both sides.  Drain on paper towels and then sprinkle with confectioners’ sugar.  Serve immediately.
