Preparation

Toast the millet flour dry in a pan for 2 minutes, stirring, to develop its flavour, then let it cool.
In a bowl, mix the toasted millet flour with the sugar and salt.
Gradually whisk in the water until you get a thick, smooth batter.
Stir in the baker's yeast dissolved in a little warm water.
Cover and let rest for 30 minutes in a warm spot; the batter should rise slightly and become bubbly.

Fry for 3 to 4 minutes, turning halfway through, drain on paper towel and serve hot, dusted with sugar.
