Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 tablespoons shortening or butter

  • Honey for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Combine flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a mixing bowl.
  2. Add the shortening or butter and mix until crumbly.
  3. Gradually add warm water, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  4. Knead the dough on a floured surface for a few minutes.
  5. Roll it out to about 1/4 inch thick and cut into squares.
  6. Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium heat.
  7. Fry the dough squares until they puff up and are golden brown, about 1-2 minutes on each side.

Notes

Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying and avoid overcrowding the pan for the best puff.
