Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- Oil for frying (enough to fill your pan about 2 inches deep)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add warm water while stirring until a dough forms. Knead until smooth and elastic.
- Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- Divide the rested dough into small balls (about golf ball size) and roll each ball into thin circles (1/8 inch thick).
- Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat until shimmering. Test by dropping in one rolled-out circle; it should bubble immediately.
- Fry the circles for about 2 minutes on each side until golden brown and puffy. Use tongs to carefully flip them.
- Remove from oil and drain on paper towels; season with salt or spices while hot.
