Although the recipe calls for yeast, there's no kneading or punching down required. The yeast just helps these puff and inflate. use a wok for deep frying.

- In a large bowl, blend the yeast and water and let stand and foam 10 minutes. Meanwhile, blend the egg, milk, water, sugar and oil. Stir in flour until a soft dough forms. Place in a greased bowl and cover with a damp cloth. Let rise until double in size (about 1-1/2 hours) or refrigerate overnight.
- Roll out into a large square (between 1/4 and 1/2 inch thick). Cut into squares about 2 inches by 4 inches.
- Heat oil to 375 F. Lower squares gently into oil. Fry a few at a time, browning evenly on each side (turning squares only once). Drain on paper towels.
- Spread with maple glaze. Serve. Makes about 1-1/2 dozen squares.
