Ingredients
4 cups flour
6 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 cups warm water
Method
1. Heat a deep pan with vegetable oil such as canola or peanut, grapeseed oil etc. medium heat.
2. While heating the oil in a large bowl, mix all the ingredients into a batter.
3. On a lightly floured surface, shape the dough into a thick circle, then use a cookie cutter to cut out
even circles. You can also form regular balls with floured hands.
4. Fry in hot oil until golden and golden brown on one side. The other side looks even but is still pale. So
turn them over and fry them until golden brown.
5. After frying, transfer to a large bowl lined with paper towel. Allow to cool slightly and serve with sweet
tea or coffee.On the farm where I grew up, we enjoyed them neat or with #igxogxa, also known as
#recycled tea made from used tea bags or pre-brewed coffee granules. The kids weren’t allowed to drink
real coffee and real tea, but hey, like kids! We loved Igxogxa. It’s the best coffee and tea we can get.
