To prepare, you will typically combine the contents of this mix with a few wet ingredients, such as water and oil, as instructed on the packaging. The dough is then formed and fried until golden brown and puffed. The key is to achieve a light and airy interior with a slightly crisp exterior. Proper frying temperature is important for the best texture. This mix takes the guesswork out of combining the dry components.
