Ingredients

250 g bakers flour
200 g water
50 g sourdough starter
1 tablespoon caster sugar
1/2 teaspoon 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.
