Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, nutmeg and salt.
  2. Add the melted butter, then the lukewarm water little by little, mixing until you have a soft, non-sticky dough.
  3. Knead by hand for 5 minutes, cover and let rest for 15 minutes.
  4. Divide the dough into 8 balls, flatten them into discs about 1 cm thick and poke a small hole in the centre of each.
  5. Heat the oil to 170 °C (340 °F) in a deep saucepan.
  6. Fry the bakes for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until golden and puffed, then drain on paper towels.

Variations and tips

Savoury version. Replace the sugar with an extra pinch of salt and serve with cheese or salted fish.

Using what you have. If you have no baking powder, use 1 teaspoon of dry instant yeast and let the dough rise for 30 minutes.
