Stir until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface until smooth, about 5-7 minutes.

Cover the dough with a cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Punch down the dough and roll it out to about 1/2 inch thickness.

Cut the dough into circles using a cookie cutter or glass.

Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
