Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tbsp Baking powder
• 4 tbsp Butter
• 1 cup Milk
• 1/4 cup Sugar
• 3 cups Vegetable oil

Steps

1. Rub the butter into the flour and baking powder, then bring together with the milk into a soft dough; rest 20 minutes.
2. Roll 1/4 inch thick and cut into diamonds, poking a hole in the center of each so they fry flat.
3. Fry at 360°F for 2 minutes per side until puffed and golden.
4. Dust with sugar while hot and eat on rainy days — tradition demands it.
5. Eat them the traditional way — hot, sugared, and preferably while it is raining outside.
