6 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 pack Yeast, dry
1 cup ;Water, warm
2 Egg; beaten
4 cups Flour
6 tablespoons Sugar

Directions

Soften yeast in warm water. Combine all ingredients except cinnamon sugar; mix well. Divide dough into 12 pieces. Let rest for 10 minutes. Roll each piece out on a lightly floured board. Using your hands, stretch each piece into a circular shape.

Heat vegetable oil in a 10-inch skillet (cast iron is the best).

Place each circle of dough into the hot grease. Turn once; the surface will bubble and blister and should be lightly browned.

Place on absorbent paper toweling; immediately sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
