Ingredients

• 4 cups All purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking Powder
• 1 tablespoon Salt
• 1/2 tbs Sugar
• 2 cups Milk
• 1 ½ tbsp Butter
• 2 cups Vegetable Oil

Method

1. Mix together — Combine dry ingredients and mix (flour, salt, and baking powder)
2. Mix together — Add lightly melted butter mix. Gradually add lukewarm milk.
3. Knead — Gently knead the dough with hands. The dough should not be firm but with a sticky consistency.
4. Continue cooking — Separate into small portions in the shapes of balls based on the desired size.
5. Cover and cook — Let the balls rest for 15 – 20 minutes covered with a towel or saran wrap.
6. Continue cooking — Flatten dough using hands, using your thumb to press dough in
7. Fry — Deep fry in a saucepan (I use a saucepan because the frying pan is too wide, and I'll need to use too much oil to deep fry).
8. Heat the pan — Use medium heat. Turn over on the other side when dough strarts getting brown, then turn over to brown the other side
9. Continue cooking — Enjoy with your favorite side
