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

Add 1 teaspoon of baking powder to the flour.

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

Mix the flour and baking powder together.

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

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

Cut the dough into three pieces.

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

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

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