- Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead until you have a smooth ball.
- Divide in half and let stand for 10 minutes.
- Roll each half into a 10x12" rectangle about 1/8 in thick.
- Cut into 3 inch squares and fry 3 or 4 at a time in oil that is 400 degrees for 30 seconds on each side.
- It is important to do small batches so you don't lower the temp of the oil, this will make them absorb it and they will be heavy and unhealthy.
