• 5 break off a golf ball sized piece of dough and pat it out flat in your hand, no thicker than 1/4 inch.
• 6 place 2 or 3 flats at a time into the hot oil and when they begin to bubble flip them over and fry until they're a nice light golden brown.
• 7 remove and drain on paper towels then serve hot (keep them covered in a bowl until you're done frying).
• 8 you can make larger flats; just make sure they're no thicker than 1/4" and fry one at a time.
