double cooking with oven pass – dress them on parchment paper, bake for 5/6 minutes at 392°F in a static oven and fry them in oil at 329°F
double cooking in oil at different temperatures – dress them on parchment paper, first cook them in a pot with oil at 266°F to make them grow in volume, then move them to another pot with oil at 347°F until golden.
