Combine yeast and warm water to activate, following the instructions on the packet, and let sit for 5 to 10 minutes. Combine dry ingredients and add half the activated yeast, then mix. Add small amounts of the yeast until the mixture forms a dough-like consistency. Form the dough into a circular shape.
Sprinkle flour on a flat surface and roll out the dough using a rolling pin. From the flattened dough, cut small triangles (no larger than 3" to 4" in height) and fry in oil until golden brown.
