Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 7

Divide the dough into 2-3 parts for convenience. Dust your work surface with flour and roll out each piece of dough to 0.5 cm thick. Using a glass or cookie cutter, cut out circles from the dough. Use a smaller notch to make a hole in the middle of each circle. You will get rings. Collect the remaining dough, roll it out and cut out the blanks. You can use a small notch to make small circles from the leftovers; when frying, they will become round, like balls.

Heat the oil in a cauldron or deep frying pan. Place the rings there in portions and fry on both sides until golden brown.
