4With floured hands, make the batter into one-inch-diameter balls.
5Dust each one lightly with flour.
6Heat a two inch pool of oil in heavy skillet to 365 degrees.
7Deep fry felafel until golden brown, serve immediately.
8My modifications: i usually use 1-2 tsp of cayenne because i like them spicy.
