 Dissolve the salt, baking soda
and alum in 11 oz (325 ml) of
water. Mix the water and flour
into a dough. Let stand for 15
minutes, then dampen your hands
and knead until the dough is smooth
and elastic.
- Place the dough on an oiled
surface and roll into a long strip.
Cut into 30 short strips of about
1 oz in weight. Press two strips
together and roll them lengthwise.
Pull the batter sticks until they
are 10 inches (24 cm) long.
- Heat the oil to 400oF(205oC),
or until a piece of day-old bread
browns in about 30 seconds. Add
the dough sticks, a few at a time,
and deep-fry, stirring constantly,
until brown. Drain well and serve
warm with milk or bean milk.
