In a mixing bowl, add 2 cups of all-purpose flour.

Add 2.5 teaspoons of baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.

Add 3 tablespoons of brown sugar (equivalent to 1/4 cup) to the dry ingredients.

Add 2 tablespoons of Crisco butter (butter flavor) and mix the dry ingredients together.

Gradually add 3/4 cup of lukewarm water to the mixture until a dough forms.

Knead the dough well and wrap it in plastic wrap, refrigerating for 15 minutes.

Prepare a floured surface for rolling out the dough.

Separate the dough into two halves, then each half into three pieces, making six pieces total.

Roll out each piece of dough to a thickness similar to a Sukkah, not too thin.

Heat about 2 cups of vegetable oil in a deep pot until very hot.

Deep fry the dough pieces, cooking for about 3 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Check the color of the fry bakes and adjust the heat if necessary to avoid burning.

Remove the fry bakes from the oil and drain on paper towels.
