Put flour in a mixing bowl.

Add baking powder and salt to the flour.

Mix the ingredients together.

Add coconut milk to the mixture.

Add water to make the dough firm.

Mix until the ingredients become firm.

Knead the dough on a board, slicing it into different sizes for better kneading.

Set the dough aside for a minute while washing hands.

Let the dough sit for a couple of minutes to allow the baking powder to rise.

Preheat vegetable oil in a skillet for frying.

Roll out the dough until it's about half an inch thick.

Slice the rolled dough into desired sizes and make a slit in the middle of each piece.

Drop a small piece of dough into the oil to check if it's hot enough.

Once the oil is hot, add the sliced dough pieces to fry.

Fry until golden brown and puffed up.

Remove the fried jack from the oil and place it on a plate.

Spread hot butter on the fried jack before serving.
