Sift the flour into a bowl; mix in the yeast. Add the remaining ingredients and knead with a mixer.
Let it rise in the bowl for 1 hour in a warm place.
Roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch (1/2 cm) thickness. Cut dough into finger-thick strips. Tie knots or braid three strips together.
Gather scraps and re-roll if needed. Let rise another 1/2 hour to 1 hour under a tea towel.
Fry in a deep fryer at 350° F (180° C) for about 2-4 minutes depending on size. Do not crowd the fryer.
Transfer warm knots to a deep plate with granulated sugar, and roll to cover completely. Or allow to cool and sift powdered sugar over the knots before serving.
