1/2 cup warm milk
2 teaspoons dry yeast
2 tablespoons sugar
1 egg, beaten
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups all purpose flour
oil

1. Combine sugar, yeast and milk in a large bowl and allow to sit for several minutes.
2. Stir in about 1/3 of the flour to the bowl, then add the egg.
3. Continue incorporating the flour until you have a smooth, elastic dough.
4. Cover the bowl and place in a warm place until doubled in size.
5. Place the dough on a floured surface and pat down flat.
6. Cut circles out of the dough with the rim of a pint glass and transfer to a baking sheet.
7. Cover the baking sheet and place in a warm place until dough begins to rise.
8. Meanwhile, fill a cast iron skillet 1/4 full with oil and heat to 350 degrees or until oil starts to swirl.
9. Fry dough until browned, about 5 minutes, then flip and fry the other side. Serve hot.
