  Heat 2 inches of oil for frying in deep-fryer or heavy bottom pot to 360°F. It’s important to have a candy/deep fry thermometer to properly control the oil temp. Pipe 5 inch strips of dough into hot oil and use scissors to cut the dough, fry a few at a time and don’t overcrowd the pot. Fry until golden brown and drain on a wire rack. Make sure the oil is around 360°F before frying the next batch.
