sunflower oil for deep frying

4. Add a little extra milk if the dough is too stiff
5. Shape the dough into a sausage and divide it into 6 equal lengths
6. Roll each length into a thin oval shape on a flour strewn surface
7. Spread softened butter on the dough ovals and sprinkle them with cornflour
8. Stack the ovals on top of each other until you have a stack of 6 ovals
9. Now roll the stack out into a thin rectangle
10. Roll up the rectangle lengthways
11. Using a sharp knife, cut the roll into 2 cm slices
12. Moisten the ends of each roll and press them together to prevent the roll from unravelling when they're fried
