- In a pot of oil, on medium heat, drop a tiny batter to test the heat of the oil, If the batter floats to the top, oil is ideal for frying.
- Now soak your hand in water, so that the batter doesn't stick too much on your palms. Now beat the batter with your hand to release air bubbles, then scoop and deep fry. See notes for the video on 4 ways to scoop puff puff for perfect round shapes.
