Steps
- Mix 2 cups of all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon of baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Stir in ¼ cup of water and 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil.
- Press together, adding only enough extra water to form a cohesive ball. Knead as little as possible, cover, and rest for 10 minutes.
- Divide into 16 balls and roll into nearly translucent 4in / 10cm rounds on a lightly oiled surface. Cut a couple of 1in / 2.5cm slits in each.
- Heat 2in / 5cm of vegetable oil in a pot over medium-high heat to 350°F / 175°C. Fry one round at a time, turning, until golden on both sides. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.
