Put a deep pot on the stove to hot. Pour in about a cup of oil to deep fry the dough. Allow the oil to get very hot.

Gradually add the a circular shape dough into the hot oil. It will drop to the bottom of the pot. As the dough begins to get hot and cook it will begin to float and the bottom will get golden brown and, it will begin to swell up like a balloon. Turn over and allow the other side to get golden brown.

Note: be sure that you adjust your stove to medium heat. If the heat is too high the bakes will get brown very quickly but not fully cooked inside.
