- Pour the liquid mixture gradually into the flour and knead until smooth and uniform.
- Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rest for 4 hours.
- Dust a work surface with flour, place the dough on top, and cut into strips. Pair the strips together using a little water to stick them, then deep-fry in hot oil until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a wire rack to drain excess oil.
