speed, scraping bowl Constantly, 30 seconds. Beat on medium speed

scraping bowl Occasionally, 2 minutes. Stir in remaining flour until

smooth.

3. Cover and let rise in warm place, until double, 50 to 60 minutes.

(Dough Is ready when indentation remains when touched.)

Surface. Fry until golden brown, about 1 minute on each side. Remove
