Equipment Needed

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Rolling pin
  • Round cookie cutter (or knife)
  • Deep pot or frying pan
  • Slotted spoon
  • Paper towels

Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.5 cup warm water (or more, as needed)
  • 3 cups vegetable oil (for frying)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, and baking powder. Mix well.
  2. Gradually add the warm water to the dry ingredients, mixing with your hands until a soft dough forms. Add more water if the dough is too dry, or a little flour if it's too sticky.
  3. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 2-3 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Divide the dough into two equal parts. Roll out each part thinly, about 1/8 inch thick, using a rolling pin.
  5. Using a round cookie cutter (about 2-3 inches in diameter) or a knife, cut the dough into small circular 'saucers'. Re-roll any scraps and cut more saucers.
  6. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pot or frying pan over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C). You can test by dropping a small piece of dough; it should sizzle and float to the top quickly.
  7. Carefully place a few dough saucers into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and puffed up.
  8. Remove the fried saucers with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  9. Serve your delicious frying saucer recipe hot, plain, or with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes & Tips

  • Maintain a consistent oil temperature for best results. If the oil is too cool, the saucers will absorb too much oil; if too hot, they will burn quickly.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan, as this can lower the oil temperature and lead to soggy saucers.
  • These are best served immediately after frying for maximum crispiness.
