-Ensure the oil is at the right temperature, too hot will brown quickly and remain raw inside, and too cold will distort the shape

-Flavor castor sugar with cinnamon but is optional

-Avoid crowding the oil while frying to maintain the temperature

-To check oil temperature, pinch a small dough piece and put it in the oil, it should rise slowly and then brown
