FAQs
1. Can I use regular flour instead of gluten-free?
No, this recipe is specifically for gluten-free flour. Using regular flour will defeat the purpose of the recipe.
2. Can I bake these instead of frying?
While frying gives the best texture, you can bake them in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 10-15 minutes, turning halfway through.
3. How do I know when the oil is hot enough for frying?
You can test if the oil is hot by dropping a small piece of dough into it. If it bubbles and rises to the surface, the oil is ready for frying.
