Instructions

  1. 1

    Mix flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a bowl.

  2. 2

    Stir in warm water to form a soft, slightly sticky dough.

  3. 3

    Divide the dough into 8 pieces and flatten each into a disc about 1.5 cm thick.

  4. 4

    Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat until shimmering.

  5. 5

    Fry each disc for 2–3 minutes per side until deep golden and cooked through.

  6. 6

    Drain on paper towel before serving warm.

Chef's tips

Keep the oil at a steady medium heat; too hot and the outside burns before the centre cooks.

Ingredient substitutions

  • vegetable oil → lard or shortening for frying

Storage

Keep leftovers covered at room temperature for up to a day.

Reheating

Reheat in a dry pan over low heat until warmed through.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • •Oil too hot browns the outside before the inside cooks
  • •Discs too thick stay doughy in the middle
