\n
In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Quick and easy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Stir in melted butter and warm water until a soft dough forms. Not sticky, not dry\u2014just right.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
Knead for 2\u20133 minutes until smooth. Don\u2019t overwork it\u2014keep it chill.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Cover and rest for 15\u201320 minutes. This helps with rolling and texture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Divide dough into small balls, then roll each one very thin (almost paper-thin). Thin = crispy magic.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Heat oil to 180\u00b0C (350\u00b0F). Test with a small piece first.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Fry one at a time, pressing lightly if needed. Cook until golden and crispy, flipping once.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
While still warm, sprinkle or toss in cinnamon sugar.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Drizzle with honey or syrup if you want to go all out.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

Skip sugar and serve with dips.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
