Lemon juice adds a similar acidity.

Add 1/2 cup of sugar into a mixing bowl.

Grate the zest of 1 large lemon into the sugar using a hand grater.

Rub the lemon zest together with the sugar until well combined.

Add all purpose flour, baking powder, and salt into the bowl.

Add margarine into the bowl and rub it in until it resembles little clumps of flour.

Add spices: cardamon powder, ground ginger, and nutmeg, and combine until fully mixed with the flour.

Crack 1 egg into the bowl and add 2 teaspoons of lemon juice and milk.

Mix the dry and wet ingredients until a dough forms, scraping the bottom of the bowl as needed.

If the dough is sticky, sprinkle in some all purpose flour while kneading.

Knead the dough for 2 to 4 minutes until soft.

Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes.

Place a frying pan over medium high flame and add enough cooking oil to fry the daddies.

Sprinkle flour on a working surface and transfer the dough to it.

Knead the dough on the countertop for 1 minute, adding more flour if it sticks.

Roll out the dough to half an inch thick using a rolling pin.

Using a sharp knife, divide the rolled dough into small pieces.

Check if the cooking oil is ready by inserting a skewer; small bubbles indicate readiness.

Carefully drop the pieces of dough into the hot oil, avoiding overcrowding.

Fry the daddies for 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown, flipping them with a skimmer to brown evenly.

Scoop out the daddies, shake off excess oil, and transfer to a bowl.
