  2. Keep mixing and kneading the dough as you gradually add the milk (can use water instead). You don't have to use the entire milk should you achieve the right dough consistency. However, should you use too much milk, add flour gradually until thickens vice versa.
  3. Leave the dough aside to set and become plump for 30 minutes - 1 hour covered with a damp tea towel. When the dough is ready, cut the dough into 6 pieces or as size desired whether it's bigger or smaller. Roll each piece into a ball before gently flattening the dough using your palm or finger tips.
  4. When ready to cook, fill a deep pan/pot with oil for deep frying on medium heat. Pierce both sides of the dough with a fork before frying both sides until golden brown. Make sure they're cooked in the middle and the oil is not too hot to avoid burning them.
  5. Serve with almost anything and everything. Can be an appetiser, part of a main or even a side dish. This can also be a dessert once you sprinkle caster sugar on top or fill with either chocolate or jam, YUM!
