Measure 1 cup of flour and then add 3 cups of flour in total.

For every cup of flour, add 1 teaspoon of baking powder, using 2 half teaspoons to make 1 teaspoon, resulting in 2 teaspoons for 3 cups of flour.

Add 1.5 teaspoons of salt using three half teaspoons.

Mix the dry ingredients together with a fork.

Knead the mixture with clean hands until combined.

Start with 1/2 cup of water, adding it gradually to achieve the right dough consistency, ensuring it is not too soft.

Continue adding water sparingly until the dough forms into a ball, kneading until fully combined.

Let the dough set for a bit before shaping into fritters.

Make small balls of dough using the palms of your hands.

Flatten the balls using your thumbs to form fritters.

Heat canola oil in a frying pan over low to medium heat, ensuring it’s not too hot to prevent raw dough.

Cook the fritters until the bottom side starts to brown, then flip them over to cook the other side.

Check if the fritters are cooked by cutting one open; they should be fully cooked inside.
