Step 1
Mix flour and water in a bowl until a thick, smooth dough forms. Let rest 2 minutes.

Heat oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (use a thermometer). The surface should shimmer.

Transfer dough to a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe 5-inch strips directly into hot oil.

Fry until golden brown on both sides, ~3 minutes total. Flip once halfway. Drain on paper towels.
