Sfinj are Moroccan donuts that are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. This classic recipe involves using yeast, flour, sugar, and warm water to create a sticky dough, which is then fried until golden brown. Serve them warm coated in sugar or honey, paired with a hot cup of nana tea.

1: In a mixer, mix yeast with 1 cup of warm water and let it sit for 10 minutes. 2: Add all ingredients with 2-3 extra cups of warm water. Start mixing using the dough hook. 3: The dough needs to be very sticky, almost watery. Therefore, add water gradually until you reach this consistency. 4: Cover dough and let it rest until it doubles in size, about 1 hour. 5: Heat a pot of oil at 350°F. Prepare a small bowl of oil. Oil hands and pick up the dough forming a hole in the middle and dropping in the oil. 6: Once it goldens up, flip. Remove and place on a rack so excess oil can drip at the bottom without making the sfinj soggy. 7: Coat in sugar or honey and enjoy over a hot cup of nana tea.
