Tips for Fried Pastry:
1. The amount of sugar and salt in the pastry can be adjusted according to your taste.
2. If the dough is very soft, don't roll it too thin when making sheets.On the contrary, if the dough is a bit stiff, you can roll out thinner sheets.This ensures that the center of the fried pastry will not be undercooked.
3. To avoid a hard dough, during frying, add a few drops of hot water in the middle and cover for 2-3 minutes before uncovering to finish cooking the exterior.
4. For extra tender and crispy pastries, use softer dough and more oil.
5. Always place the pastry on the pan when it's very hot to avoid absorbing too much oil.
