Critical Success Points

  • Achieving the very wet dough consistency
  • Kneading until the dough becomes cohesive and elastic
  • Maintaining oil temperature at 375 °F (190 °C) throughout frying
  • Generously flouring the work surface to handle the sticky dough
  • Dusting with powdered sugar immediately after frying

Safety Warnings

  • Hot oil can cause severe burns – keep a lid nearby and never leave unattended
  • Use a thermometer to avoid overheating oil
  • Do not splash oil; add dough gently using a spider or slotted spoon
  • Keep children and pets away from the frying area
