Direction

- Once all the flour is worked in properly ( it should be smooth, with a couple of bubbles), cover the mixture with a table cloth. set aside in a warm place for 3-4hrs
- Set a large pot on medium heat, add in the oil.
- Once the oil is hot ~ 5-6mins, Scoop the mixture with your hand or an icecream scoop, drop in the oil ( try not to crowd the pan)
- Fry until golden brown turning occasionally.
