Let the batter rest for 1 hour until bubbly.

Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat until shimmering.

Transfer the batter to a piping bag with a round tip.

Pipe spirals into the hot oil, creating a shape like a figure eight.

Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side.

Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
