Knead the Dough
Dust a clean surface with a bit of flour and turn the dough out onto it. Knead gently for about 1-2 minutes until it is slightly smoother but still sticky.
Frying and Serving
- 5
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can use a thermometer to check the temperature.

Fry the Dough
Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, drop small amounts of dough into the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

Drain and Dust with Sugar
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried dough from the oil and let it drain on paper towels. While still warm, dust generously with powdered sugar.

Serve
Serve the fried dough warm, with additional powdered sugar on the side if desired.
