- Sprinkle a bit of extra flour on a countertop and turn the dough out onto it.
- Knead it for about 5 minutes, adding a sprinkle of flour if it becomes sticky.
- Place the dough back in the mixing bowl, cover with a towel and let it rest for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat oil to 350°F in a deep-frying pan over medium heat.
- While the oil is heating, roll the dough out to between 1/8" to 1/4" thickness
- Using a pizza cutter, cut the dough into 16-20 equal pieces.
- Carefully drop 4-5 pieces into the hot oil and fry for 2-3 minutes on each side or until both sides have puffed up and turned a golden.
- Remove from the oil and drain them over a cookie cooling rack or a plate with a paper towel.
- Once cooled, sprinkle them with a bit of powdered sugar and serve with honey for drizzling.
