- Roll the dough out to about 1/4-inch thickness. Use a knife or pastry cutter to cut the dough into circles, squares, or your preferred shape. Smaller cuts cook more evenly and quickly.
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with oil or butter. Once hot, place the cut dough pieces onto the skillet in batches without crowding.
- Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and puffed. Flip carefully and press gently with a spatula to ensure even cooking.
- Transfer to a plate and serve warm. Dust with powdered sugar, drizzle with honey or syrup, or enjoy plain for a lightly sweet, satisfying treat.
Serving Suggestions
- Top with cinnamon sugar or a light glaze for a churro-style twist.
- Pair with coffee, hot chocolate, or fresh fruit for a traditional snack or breakfast.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container; reheat on a skillet or toaster oven to restore crispness.
