Directions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, oil, dry yeast, lemon juice, water, and salt. Mix the ingredients thoroughly until a smooth dough forms.

  2. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and a cloth, and let it rest for about 2 hours. After the dough has risen, divide it into small balls, cover them again with a cloth and plastic wrap, and let them rest for another 10 minutes.

  3. Shape each ball into a round disc. Fry the discs in hot oil, ensuring they cook evenly by frying in two passes. Remove from the oil and serve.
