Instructions

  1. Mix the flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
  2. Gradually add the lukewarm water and knead until you have a soft, smooth dough.
  3. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes, covered with a tea towel.
  4. Divide the dough into 8 balls and flatten them into discs about 1 cm thick.
  5. Heat the oil in a deep pan to about 170 °C.
  6. Fry the gobo for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until nicely golden.
  7. Drain on paper towels and serve warm, sprinkled with sugar if you like.

Variations and tips

Baked version. For a less greasy version, bake the discs at 200 °C for 15 minutes, turning them halfway through.
