Yield about 3 dozen.

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast

Pinch the ends to seal. , Place on greased baking sheets. Repeat with remaining dough. Cover and let rise until almost doubled, about 35-45 minutes. , In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat oil to 375°. Fry crullers, a few at a time, about 1 minute on each side or until golden brown, turning with a slotted spoon. Drain on paper towels.
