Adult help needed.
Mix together the egg, sugar, milk, butter and baking powder. Slowly mix in the flour, forming dough that’s soft but not sticky. Add more flour if needed.
With a rolling pin, roll the dough on a lightly floured surface until it's about ¼-inch thick. Let it stand about 20 minutes, then cut it into 12-15 triangles.
Heat the oil in a skillet. Place the triangles in oil over medium heat and fry until both sides are golden brown. Remove to drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Makes about 24.
