Steps

1

In a deep bowl mix the flour, sugar, powdered milk, cardamon, saffron, and yeast.
2

Create a "well" in the dry mixture and add the water, oil, eggs, and yogurt. Mix until all the ingredients are incorporated, the consistency is similar to pancake batter.
3

Cover the bowl and place in a warm place for an hour or until it doubles in size.
4

After the dough has risen beat it with your hand or a spoon to deflate it.
5

In a frying pan add enough oil for deep frying and heat it.
6

Once the oil has heated take a scoop of the dough with your hand and drop it into the oil (drop it close to the oil so that the oil doesn't splash on you) or using 2 tablespoons scoop the dough with one spoon and use the other spoon to drop the dough into the oil.
7

Fry the dough balls until they are golden brown and place then on kitchen napkins to absorb any excess oil
8

Usually we eat these with date syrup, but you can also eat them with honey, simple syrup, powdered sugar, etc.
