Critical Success Points

  • Use both baking powder and baker's yeast to achieve a well‑aerated dough.
  • Maintain the frying oil at 180 °C to avoid overly greasy or burnt cooking.
  • Do not over‑flour the work surface to avoid drying out the dough.

Safety Warnings

  • Frying oil reaches very high temperatures; handle with care and keep children away.
  • Use gloves or a long handle to avoid splatters.
  • Never leave the oil unattended.
