Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture, and stir until just combined.
The dough should be soft, but not sticky. If it is too sticky, add a tablespoon of flour at a time until it is the right consistency.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and roll out to 1/2 inch thickness.
Cut the dough into 2-inch circles, and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Heat the oil in a large pot or electric skillet to 375°F.
Drop the dough by tablespoonfuls into the hot oil, and fry for 3 to 5 minutes, or until golden brown.
