Knead 15 to 20 times, then put bowl over dough and set aside 10 minutes. Heat oil to 420 degrees in deep fryer. Roll 1/4 of the dough to 1/4 inch thick; cut into squares. Cover cut dough with a towel and dry a few at a time. To assure puffing, stretch dough before lowering into fat and put in top side first. Hold each piece down until it puffs. Drain on towels.
