Introduce the recipe and ingredients using a sister's cookbook.

Measure flour into a KitchenAid mixer.

Measure and add 1 teaspoon of baking powder to the flour.

Heat water in the microwave for about 40 seconds.

Add the heated water to the flour and baking powder mixture.

Mix on low speed to combine the ingredients until a dough forms.

Take the dough out of the mixer and knead it on a clean counter.

Roll the dough into a long ball and cut it into smaller pieces.

Roll each piece into a ball and flatten it with a rolling pin.

Slice the flattened dough down the middle to create a slit for cooking.

Cover the prepared dough with a paper towel and foil, then refrigerate it.

Prepare the frying oil in a fryer, lining it with a napkin to absorb excess oil after frying.

Fry the dough pieces in the hot oil until they puff up, then flip them to cook evenly.

Remove the fried Jack from the oil and place them on the lined napkin to drain excess oil.

Serve the fried Jack with various toppings like eggs, cheese, bacon, and avocado.
