After the dough is infused, it must be rolled out with a rolling pin. Try to make it thin, otherwise the cookie may not work. Cut the rolled dough into strips of 10-15 cm long. Take the ends of the strip and make a few turns on one side and a couple of turns on the other side in the opposite direction. It should be a spiral.Step 3: Fry the brushwood.
Immerse the finished spirals in hot oil. Turn the cookie over until it turns golden on all sides.Step 4: Serve.
