Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 Tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 Tablespoon butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 to 1 cup water, room temperature
Instructions
  1. Whisk the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt together to blend.

  2. Whisk together the softened butter, milk and 1/2 cup of water. Pour the wet into the flour and mix together to form a soft dough. If it's too stiff, add more of the water.

  3. When you have a soft dough that isn't sticky, wrap it in wax paper and chill it for one to two hours - or overnight.

  4. Roll the dough out to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut the flat dough into rectangles and let rest while the oil heats.

  5. Heat the oil to 375°. Gently lay the rectangles into the hot oil. They will puff up and float. Flip them very carefully and cook until they are golden brown.

  6. Drain on paper towels. 

  7. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Serve honey to drizzle in the pocket.
