DABO KOLO : Little Fried Snacks
They will look like flat peanuts, and are served as a snack or with cocktails; and like peanuts, once you start eating them you can't stop.
In a 1-quart bowl:
Mix: 2 cups ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR

1/2 tsp. SALT
2 Tbs. SUGAR
1/2 tsp. CAYENNE PEPPER
1/4 cup OIL.

Knead together and add WATER, spoonful by spoonful, to form a stiff dough. Knead dough for 5 minutes longer.
Tear off a piece the size of a golf ball.
Roll it out with palms of hands on a lightly floured board into a long strip 1/2 inch thick.
Snip into 1/2-inch pieces with scissors.
Spread about a handful of the pieces on an ungreased 9-inch frying pan (or enough to cover bottom of pan). Cook over heat until uniformly light brown on all sides, stirring up once in a while as you go along.
Continue until all are light brown.
