DIRECTIONS

Heat about 3 inches of oil in a saucepan to 375°F (119°C).
In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup warm water; set aside for 10 minutes.

Place dough in a greased bowl, and turn to coat the surface.
Cover with a damp cloth.
Let rise in a warm place until double in bulk, about 1 to 1/1/2 hours.
Fry golf ball sizes of dough in batches until golden brown.
Drain on paper towels.
Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar, and eat while still hot.
