Add one beaten egg to the mixture.

Turn out the dough onto a floured surface and knead with your hands until the dough is soft and pliable, about 5 minutes.

Portion the dough, shape it into round balls, and place them on a floured surface.

6

Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it bench rest for 10 minutes.

7

Working with a floured rolling pin and one piece of dough at a time, pat the dough and roll it out on a floured surface into a 6-inch circle.

Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat oil to 350°F.

Fry the dough in the hot oil until slightly brown, then flip the dough to brown the other side.
