Flatten with a rolling pin a slab up to reduce it to a sheet of 2/3 mm thick so you have over a medium sized dish upside down and with a knife cut out a circle by removing the remains of the dough.

During the preparation of Python requires the ingredients without soiling with oil, flour the edges will overlap in order to allow a perfect welding for a success of the Python.
Soak in oil for at least Python 5 minutes from preparation to enable the consolidation of the weld.
The Python, during frying, should float in oil; so if you don't have a deep Fryer you can obtain excellent results by using a pan with high edges in which will be paid an amount of vegetable oil to float the Pythons (2 l).
Arrange fried Pythons in a horizontal position on a paper towel to distribute the dough inside and to absorb the excess oil.
