butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: self-rising flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients.

Mix all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a bowl.

Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Gradually add water, mixing until a soft dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes.

Cover the dough with a cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F.

Divide the dough into equal portions and shape into discs.

Flatten each disc slightly with your hands.

Carefully place the discs into the hot oil, frying until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.

Serve warm as a side or with fillings.
