Keep flipping the egg and sugar mixture over to add AIR to batter. Put flour in pan and make a well. Add eggs, and warm milk. Make sure you do not scramble the eggs! Mix with yeast mixture. Mix with a large wooden spoon or a large rubber spatula (Pamper chef sells a nice large one). Keep folding the dough over to add air to the bread. Mix until batter starts to leave the side of the pan. Let it sit for 20 minutes. Then make 4 or more folds in the dough. (Actually lift one corner of the dough and fold over, continue with all sides.) Let it sit for 20 minutes. Fold dough again. Then place pan in a large plastic bag.

Spread with hands kind of like a pizza dough. Fry in oil. Immediately put in a paper bag filled with sugar.
