In a bowl, mix 1 cup flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.

In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 egg, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1/2 cup milk until smooth.

Combine the wet and dry ingredients to form a loose dough.

Let the dough rest for 1 hour to ferment.

After resting, divide the dough into small pieces.

Heat oil in a frying pan until hot.

Flatten each piece of dough slightly and carefully place them in the hot oil.

Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.

Drizzle with orange juice and sugar syrup while warm.

Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
