At the centre of the strip practiced a cut of about 3 cm in the direction of the length, tuck one end of the strip to make it out the other side.
Fry the frappe little at a time into the hot oil and let them drain on paper towels, or cook them in a baking pan lined for about ten minutes at 200 degrees.
