and give us not a vine but grapes.
1-½ tbsp. baking powder
1-½ tsp. salt
2-¼ cups milk
Vegetable oil for frying
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the milk. Stir until a soft dough is formed, then turn out onto a smooth surface and knead until it is smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and set aside for thirty minutes.
Shape the dough into two-inch balls, then flatten each one into a flat circle about five inches across. Pour the vegetable oil in a heavy frying pan to one inch depth. Heat the oil, then fry the dough patties on both sides until each side is golden brown. Remove to a towel to drain off the extra oil, then serve warm.
