Add a few cups of flour into a bowl.

Add baking powder, sugar, and salt to the flour.

Mix everything quickly.

Use hands to rub butter into the flour mixture until well incorporated.

Add water little by little to form a dough, using about two-thirds cup in total.

Knead the dough for about 5 to 8 minutes until it comes together.

Cover the bowl and let the dough rest for at least 30 minutes.

After resting, give the dough a light knead on a counter surface.

Cut the dough into four pieces for larger fried bakes.

Roll each piece into a ball shape and flatten it out with hands or a rolling pin.

In a large pot, add enough vegetable oil to fry the bakes.

Once the oil is hot, drop the bakes into the pot, pouring hot oil on top to help them swell.

Flip the bakes when one side turns brown to cook the other side.

Once cooked, remove from oil and serve.
