Mix flour and baking powder together and add to the uy peas layer, ensuring no lumps remain.

Gradually add water while mixing to achieve a moist texture, using about 1 liter of water.

Knead the dough well to avoid a rubbery texture after frying.

After rising, mix the dough again and prepare for frying.

Wet hands using a bowl of water, take a ball of dough, flatten it, and make a hole in the middle.
