Combine 2 cups of plain flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg, 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon in a mixing bowl.

Add 1 teaspoon of butter to the dry ingredients and mix with a spatula for about a minute until evenly distributed.

Create a well in the center of the mixture and gradually add 1.5 cups of lukewarm water, mixing until a nice dough forms.

Set aside the remaining water in case it's needed later.

Once the dough is mixed, cover it with a damp paper towel and let it rest for 15 minutes.

After 15 minutes, flour your surface to prevent sticking and knead the dough gently to remove air.

Divide the dough into about 8 equal sections and roll each section into a ball.

Heat 1 cup of vegetable oil in a skillet over low heat for 1-2 minutes before frying the dough balls.

Place the dough balls into the oil one by one, ensuring they are not overcrowded in the skillet.

Fry the dough balls for 3-5 minutes on low heat until golden brown on the edges, flipping them to cook evenly.

After about 4-5 minutes, check for a nice brown color on both sides and remove them from the oil to drain on paper towels.
