  • Cover and refrigerate overnight, or for up to 2 days., Remove the dough from the refrigerator, and place it on a lightly greased or floured work surface; a silicone rolling mat works well here., Roll it into a 14" x 10" rectangle, squaring off the corners as well as you can without being overly fussy., Cut the dough into 2" squares., Pour the oil to a depth of at least 3/4" in a 10" electric fry pan (first choice), or a deep, heavy-bottomed 10" frying pan set over a burner., Heat the oil to 360°F, and drop 5 or 6 squares of dough into the hot oil.
