Ingredients

  • 250 g bakers flour
  • 200 g water
  • 50 g sourdough starter
  • 1 tbsp caster sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt

To Serve

  • walnuts roughly chopped
  • cinnamon
  • light agave syrup

Instructions

  • Combine flour and water and knead lightly for 2 mins. Rest dough for 30 mins, covered.
  • Add sourdough starter to dough, knead lightly for 2 mins. Rest for 30 mins, covered.
  •  Add sugar and salt to dough. Dimple with fingers then knead for 2 mins. Rest for 90 mins, covered.
  • In a fryer, or deep heavy based pot/dutch oven, heat about 1L of vegetable oil, or 2 inches deep, to 170C.
  • Pinch off golf ball size pieces of dough between your thumb and forefinger, then carefully place them into the oil using a lightly greased spoon. You can also grease your hands so the dough doesn’t stick, just don’t use water or the oil will spit!
  • Fry until lightly golden, stirring with a slotted spoon so they are cooked evenly.
  • Drain on paper towel for 3-5 minutes before serving immediately with toppings of choice.
