2 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 packet yeast
1 egg (optional)
1-2 cups water or milk, warmed slightly
Oil for deep frying
Dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup of warm liquid. Mix together dry ingredients. Add liquid to dry, 1/2 cup at a time until you have "a banana bread consistency".
Cover and let rise until doubled or tripled.
Gather dough into balls and drop immediately into 350 degree deep-fry oil.
Quickly cover oil with a layer of puff puff balls to provide support for each other. Flip when golden on bottom. Remove when golden all over. Drain.
