    Asalam aleykum sister Tammy, I was wondering if I can use baking powder instead of yeast? Will the end result be the same?

    Thank you very much sister Tammy

    Asalamu Alaikum sister,

    I just tried to make these and I had a couple of problems with it. Maybe you can tell me what I did wrong and if you had the same problem.

    First of all, the dough was very sticky and it was difficult getting it off the spoon when I was trying to drop them in the fryer. Should I be adding more water or is that normal? Also, I fried it at about 160 degrees tempreture and it cooked well on the outside but not so much in the inside...the dough was kind of uncooked in the middle.

    Have you tried this recipe yet? If so, how did it turn out for you?

I would first like to thank my wonderful neighbor Marium for showing me how to make this. Masha'Allah, she is such an expert that she is able to make 2 stacks of eight instead of 8 stacks of 2.

Knead until a smooth dough is formed. 3. Wrap in plastic wrap and let rest for 30 minutes. 4. Knead for 2 minutes and then divide the dough into 16 pieces. 5. Press down each piece to form a 3 inch circle. 6. Coat the top with oil and sprinkle with flour. 7. Make 8 stacks with 2 in each stack. 8. Press down to try to keep them equal in size. 9.
