Mix all the ingredients together and knead well and then leave to rest. | 9. 2. Roll the dough flat into an oval/square until it is 5mm thick. | 10. 3. Cut the dough into strips 2.5cm across. | 11. 4. Then cut these strips into lengths of 6cm. (So you are left with a whole bunch of rectangles 2.5cm x 6cm.). | 12. 5. Then make two cuts along the length of the rectangles so that you can braid them. What you're aiming at is the same braid in a scout's toggle. (or similar to a girl's 3-strand braid in her hair.). | 13. 6. When you're finished you should have a whole bunch of braided dough pastries ready to be boiled in oil -- | 14. 7.
