Preparing:.

When ready drop by tsp of batter into oil. They will sink, be surrounded by bubbles and rise to the top within seconds. You may put as many as you like in without crowding the surface once they float. They should become golden brown. Turn once. Use paper towels to blot gently and let drain on towels. If they deflate? You pulled them too soon. Add more time. You want them to hold the shape and be slightly crispy. Watch your temp it needs to stay at 350F.
