Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm milk
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the milk mixture and let it sit for 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Pour in the frothy yeast mixture and mix until you get a smooth dough. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it becomes elastic.
- Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
- Take small portions of the dough and shape them into balls or flat discs, about 3 inches in diameter.
- Carefully place the Petulla in the hot oil and fry until they turn golden brown on both sides. This should take about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Remove the Petulla from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Serve the Petulla warm and enjoy!
