INSTRUCTIONS:

1st Step

Mix the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing basin using a whisk until the ingredients are well blended.

2nd Step

While stirring constantly, gradually incorporate the heated water into the dry ingredients. Mixing should continue until a dough that is soft and just slightly sticky is formed.

3rd Step

After turning the dough out onto a surface that has been dusted with flour, knead it for a few minutes in order to make it smooth. Put it back in the bowl, cover it with a fresh towel, and let it sit for approximately half an hour.

4th Step

Fill a deep skillet or frying pan with at least 1 inch of vegetable oil by pouring in enough oil to cover the bottom. Bring the temperature up to around 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) over medium-high heat.
