Fried Sweet Pastries (prspajle)

Place yeast, 80 ml lukewarm water and 1 tsp sugar in a small bowl and stir to combine. Place in a warm, draught-free place for 15 minutes or until mixture bubbles.
Mix together flour, 1 tbsp sugar and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl. Beat the milk and egg together, then stir into the flour mixture. Add yeast mixture, then mix to form a dough. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured work surface and knead, adding more flour if required, for 5 minutes or until smooth and elastic.
Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat, then cover with a clean tea towel. Set aside in a warm, draught-free place for 35 minutes or until doubled in size.
Divide dough into 12 equal portions and roll out each to a 3mm-thick round. Heat oil in a large, deep saucepan to 190°C (or until a cube of bread turns golden in 10 seconds). Working one at a time, fry dough rounds, turning halfway during cooking, for 1 minute or until golden and puffed. Remove and drain on paper towel, then dust with remaining 80 g sugar. Serve immediately.
