Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
- 3/4 cup warm water
- Honey (for drizzling)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Create a well in the center and gradually add warm water until a soft dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- Roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickness and cut into squares or triangles.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium heat until shimmering (about 350°F). Test with a small piece of dough; if it sizzles immediately, it's ready.
