Add 2 cups of flour to a large bowl and save a little for later.

Add 1 teaspoon of sugar, 0.5 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1.5 teaspoons of salt to the flour and stir everything together.

Add 1 egg to the mixture and stir gently.

Gradually add around 1 cup of water while stirring until everything is mixed together.

Add 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil to the mixture and continue to work the dough, using oil on your hands to prevent sticking.

Knead the dough until it reaches the desired texture, adding a little flour if necessary.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rest for around 40 minutes.

After 40 minutes, take the dough out and add flour to the work surface.

Roll out the dough using a rolling pin to achieve an even thickness.

Punch two small holes in the dough with a knife to prevent it from puffing up while frying.

Heat oil in a deep skillet and test if it's hot enough by placing a small piece of dough in it.

Once the oil is ready, place the rolled dough into the oil and monitor it closely.

Flip the dough when the two holes start to turn golden brown, ensuring it cooks evenly.

Continue frying the remaining pieces of dough, checking for the golden brown color before flipping.
