Cooking Time: 10 minutesPreperation Time: 1 hour 15 minutes

Step 1

Combine approximately 30-60 grams of all-purpose flour with 0.5-1 gram of salt and 5-10 grams of sugar in a large mixing bowl. Stir to blend these dry ingredients thoroughly.

Step 2

In a separate bowl or cup, dissolve 1-2 grams of yeast or baking powder in 20-40 ml of water or milk. Ensure this mixture is well-combined before proceeding.

Step 3

Gradually incorporate the yeast or baking powder mixture into the dry ingredients, working the batter until it achieves a smooth and elastic consistency. Allow this mixture to rest for an hour in a warm spot for the dough to rise.

Step 4

Once the dough has doubled in size, heat oil in a deep-fryer or a deep skillet. While oil heats, shape the dough into small balls or elongated sticks, depending on your preference.

Step 5

Carefully place the dough pieces into the hot oil, frying them until they turn a golden brown and puff up. This process should take a few minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
