Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1.25 cups Water
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Mix well to evenly incorporate the dry ingredients.
Step 2
Gradually add the water to the dry ingredients while stirring with a spoon or your hands. Mix until the dough comes together and is slightly sticky but manageable.
Step 3
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Step 4
Cover the dough with a damp kitchen towel and let it rest for 15 minutes.
Step 5
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. Flatten each ball with a rolling pin or your hands into a round disc, about 1/4-inch thick.
Step 6
Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C) or until a small piece of dough sizzles when placed in the oil.
Step 7
Carefully place the flattened discs into the hot oil, frying one or two at a time. Cook each side for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.
Step 8
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fry bakes from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 9
Serve warm with fillings such as fried saltfish, fried fish, or enjoy as is as a delicious snack.
