4 c. flour
1 tsp. salt
1 pkg. dry yeast
2 tbsp. oil
2 1/2 c. water

Mix flour, yeast, salt, oil, adding water gradually and kneading to form a soft dough. Cover dough and put in a warm place for 1 hour to rise.

Cut dough into pieces the size of a walnut and shape in the form of a doughnut, if desired. Fry in hot, deep frying oil until golden brown on both sides.

Remove from oil and cover with powdered or regular sugar. Serve hot.
