Add 1 cup of flour, 1/4 cup of sugar, 1 1/4 cup of milk, 1 egg, and 1 tablespoon of baking powder into a mixing bowl.

Mix the ingredients with your hands to form a dough, adding more flour as needed until the dough is not sticky.

Add 1 teaspoon of oil to the dough and mix well, kneading it slightly.

Cover the dough with a wet towel and let it sit for 20 to 30 minutes.

After resting, take half the dough and roll it into a ball, flattening it out on a floured surface.

Roll out the dough to your desired thickness, but not too thin.

Cut the rolled dough into desired shapes.

Fry the dough in hot oil until golden brown, flipping only once to avoid greasiness.

Drain the fried bread on a paper towel and serve.
