- Sift the flour with the baking powder into a bowl.
- Add sugar, oil (or butter or margarine), milk, and the egg, and mix with a wooden spoon until smooth.
- Heat 1-2 inches of oil in a saucepan or deep frying pan to just below the smoke point (medium to medium-high on most stoves).

- Drain on paper toweling.
- Get enough dough on your spoon to equal the size of a unshelled almond.
- Keep a small bowl of cold water next to the workspace and dip finger before pushing batter into the oil (to keep batter from sticking).
