Mix flour, baking powder, salt, pepper and cumin. Slowly add water until

minutes. Heat oil to 375 degrees. Roll dough out 1/2 inch thick and pull
off 3-inch square or round pieces. Drop into hot oil, a few at a time, and
let cook until they float to the top. Remove with slotted spoon. Drain.
Serve as a snack, with a salad or a meal.
