Directions
Heat to 375℉ (190℃) 1 inch of oil in a deep skillet.
Combine 2 cups flour, salt, baking powder, and water.
Mix well.
Stir in enough more flour to make a soft dough.
Turn dough out on a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic.
Pinch off about a 3 inch ball of dough.
Flatten dough with hands and stretch into a 7 to 8 inch circle about ¼ inch thick.
Fry in hot oil until light golden brown, turn and brown opposite side.
Drain on paper towels.
Serve with stew (mutton is best), jam/jelly, or with honey and butter.
