Step 1
In a large bowl, whisk together the 2 cups flour, 2 tsp baking powder, and 1/2 tsp salt. Gradually stir in the 3/4 cup water until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms, about 1 minute.
Step 2
Heat the 2 cups oil in a deep skillet over medium-high until a tiny piece of dough sizzles immediately when dropped in, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Using wet hands, roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Carefully drop a few into the hot oil, not crowding the pan, and fry until golden brown and puffed, about 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally.
Step 4
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve warm, plain or with honey or jam if desired.
