2 Tablespoons sugar
1 cup water
2 eggs
6 cups flour
¼ cup oil + Additional for frying
2 teaspoons salt

5. While dough rises, during the last 5 minutes, heat oil on stove over low-medium heat.

6. Roll dough out to about 1/8 inch thick OR pull off pieces and flatten to desired size. (This will determine how many you make)
