Steps

Dissolve the yeast and sugar in the warm water and let stand for 10 minutes until foamy.
Whisk in the flour and salt to make a thick, sticky batter.
Cover and let rise in a warm spot for 1 hour until doubled and bubbly.
Heat 5 cm of oil in a deep pot to 180°C (350°F).
Scoop small spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil, frying in batches until golden and puffed, about 3-4 minutes.
Drain on paper towels.
Drizzle warm with honey, dust with cinnamon, and scatter with walnuts before serving.
