butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil adds a unique flavor while being dairy-free.

sugar

Honey offers natural sweetness with a distinct taste.

Mix 3 cups of flour and 1 teaspoon of salt in a bowl.

Add 1 cup of warm water to the dry ingredients and mix.

Incorporate 2 tablespoons of butter into the dough until melted and smooth.

Divide the dough into 10 or 12 small balls.

Flatten each ball into discs using hands or a fork.

Heat oil in a frying pan until hot enough (test with a tip of dough).

Fry the discs until golden brown, turning them when needed.

Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.

Optionally dust with sugar before serving.
