2. Get in with your hands (or a wooden spoon or spatula if you're not a handsy person) and mix everything thoroughly..
3. Preheat oil in a pan to somewhere between 350F and 375F. If you don't have a thermometer, you can sprinkle some flour into the oil and if it starts to gently sizzle right away, your oil's ready..
