In a large mixing bowl, stir together the yeast, warm water and pinch of sugar. Allow to stand a couple of minutes to allow the yeast to swell and dissolve. Stir in the remaining sugar, milk, vanilla, eggs, oil, salt and most of the flour to make a dough.

Kneed 5 - 8 minutes (by hand or with a dough hook) adding flour as needed to for a firm, smooth elastic dough. Place in a greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap place in the oven with the light on 30 - 40 minutes or until doubled in size. Gently deflate the dough and. pinch off golfball sized pieces of dough. Roll out into an oval and let rest on a clean tea towel while you prepare the remaining dough.

Heat about 4" of oil in a fryer or a wok works best. Temperature of oil should be 385º F. Before adding to the oil string the ovals int a tail shape, like a beaver tail - thinning them our and enlarging them. Add the dough pieces into the hot oil 1 - 2 at a time. Turn once until the undersides are deep brown. Lift out with tong and drain on paper towels.

These are great served with shredded cheese. If you have ever been to a place that sells these the sky is the limit to what you can put on top of them. They are perfect just plain as well.
