Ingredients

Servings:5
  • 3 cups Whole wheat flour
  • 2 cups Warm water (approx 110°F)
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons Active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup Coconut sugar or Honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract(optional)
  • 3 cups Vegetable oil for deep frying
  • 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and 1 teaspoon of the sugar in 1/2 cup of the warm water; let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.

  2. 2

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, remaining sugar, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon.

  3. 3

    Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the yeast mixture, the remaining warm water, and vanilla extract.

  4. 4

    Mix thoroughly by hand or with a wooden spoon for about 5 minutes until the batter is smooth and elastic; it should be thick but pourable.

  5. 5

    Cover the bowl with a clean damp cloth or plastic wrap and place in a warm, draft-free area to rise for 1 to 1.5 hours until doubled in size.

  6. 6

    Heat the oil in a deep pot over medium heat to approximately 350°F (175°C).

  7. 7

    Deflate the batter slightly, then use your hand or a small scoop to drop small spheres of dough into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pot.

  8. 8

    Fry for 3-5 minutes, turning frequently with a slotted spoon until the balls are golden brown and cooked through, then drain on paper towels.
