1

Measure 1 cup of flour by scooping it up and scraping off the top to level it.

2

Add 1 teaspoon of baking powder to the flour.

3

If using unsalted butter, add a pinch of salt to the mixture; otherwise, skip the salt since salted butter will be used later.

4

Mix the flour and baking powder together.

5

Slowly pour in milk (or water) while mixing until the dough reaches the right consistency, ensuring it is not too stiff or too soft.

6

Once the dough is mixed, clean your hands and prepare to roll it out.

7

Cut the dough into three pieces.

8

Roll each piece out using a rolling pin, aiming for a thin consistency.

9

Cut slits in the rolled dough to help it fry quicker.

10

Fry the dough pieces two at a time in hot oil until golden brown.
