Servings: 8

Total time: 30 minutes

INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 Tbsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 cup hot water
• Oil for frying

DIRECTIONS

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
• Add the hot water and mix until a dough forms. If it’s too sticky, add a little more flour 1 Tbsp at a time until it comes together.
• Cover and let rest for 20 minutes to a half hour.
• Meanwhile, fill a heavy-bottomed pot with 1 inch of oil and heat over medium-high to 350 degrees F.
• Break off golf-ball-sized pieces of dough and roll them into balls about 1.5” wide. On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into a thin circle about 6” in diameter.
• Fry each piece in the heated oil until golden and puffy, about 20 seconds, then flip and fry the other side for 10-20 seconds longer. Remove to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain.
• Serve warm with desired toppings!
