Instructions: Mix water, sugar, yeast, and 2 oz flour until smooth. Let rise until doubles in size. Add the salt and the rest of the flour, and enough water to make a thick batter. Cover and allow to rise again and begin to bubble. This takes 1 - 2 hours.

Heat the oil in a deep-frying pan (I used a wok) and when the oil is hot drop in tsp size balls of batter. The dough will puff up and turn light brown. Remove with a strainer and put on a serving dish. Spoon honey or syrup (I heated the honey to make it runnier) over the doughnuts and sprinkle with cinnamon powder. Serve hot.

** Next time I plan to add cinnamon and nutmeg to the batter along with the flour to give them more spice.
