Nautul se paseaza cu ajutorul unui mixer/robot de bucatarie sau in lipsa acestora cu ajutorul unei furculite. Se adauga restul ingredientelor si se amesteca bine. Se formeaza rotocoale cu mainile umede, se dau prin faina si se prajesc in ulei incins pana capata o culoare aurie. Se pot servi alaturi de o garnitura din legume, cu mustar, orez, piure din cartofi…
Nota: incercati sa prajiti mai intai o bucata, daca se dezintegreaza mai adaugati putina faina in compozitie si incercati din nou.
