My recommended tools to ace this Recipe

1. Batter dispenser: If you don't want to get out hands messy while frying the buns, this batter dispenser will do the trick. Especially when you need to feed a crowd. It's easy to use and makes your buns size even.

2. Frying Spoon: To scoop out the buns from the oil

3. Paper Towel: To catch excess grease from the buns

4. Serving Platter: Serve these goodness on the perfect platter. This beautiful 3 tier platter will definitely impress any one. ?
