Sfinj, also known as Moroccan doughnuts, is a traditional delicacy enjoyed in Morocco and across northern Africa. These delightful doughnuts have a crisp exterior and a soft, fluffy interior that makes them irresistible. Sfinj is often served for breakfast or after dinner, and can be enjoyed all year round. Traditionally, Sfinj is served with sweet syrup or sprinkled with powdered sugar. The recipe is simple and easy to make, and the dough can be prepared in advance.

Instructions

1.	In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and yeast.
2.	Slowly add water to the mixture and knead the dough for about 10 minutes or until it becomes soft and elastic.
3.	Cover the dough and let it rest for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
4.	Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
5.	Wet your hands and take a small piece of dough and shape it into a ball. Make a small hole in the center of the ball with your thumb.
6.	Gently drop the dough balls into the hot oil and fry them until they become golden brown on both sides.
7.	Remove the doughnuts and place them on paper towels to absorb the excess oil.
8.	Serve the Sfinj with honey syrup or sprinkle powdered sugar on top for a sweet treat.
