Steps
Step 1
Combine dry ingredients and mix (flour, salt, and baking powder) Add lightly melted butter mix. Gradually add lukewarm milk.
Step 2
Gently knead the dough with hands. The dough should not be firm but with a sticky consistency.
Step 3

20 minStep 4
Flatten dough using hands, using your thumb to press dough in Deep fry in a saucepan (I use a saucepan because the frying pan is too wide, and I'll need to use too much oil to deep fry). Use medium heat.
Step 5
Turn over on the other side when dough strarts getting brown, then turn over to brown the other side Enjoy with your favorite side

butter → olive-oil
Use a little less oil than butter. Pastry and laminated doughs are a different problem.
