🧾 **Ingredients**

**Base:**

👩‍🍳 **Step-by-Step Instructions**

2. **Incorporate Margarine:**

4. **Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:**

- Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients.

- Knead the dough for 7 to 10 minutes until it is well incorporated and slightly sticky. Avoid adding extra flour.

5. **Rest the Dough:**

- Place the dough back in the mixing bowl and cover it. Let it rest for at least 30 minutes.

6. **Shape the Dough:**

- After resting, divide the dough into six equal parts.

- Roll each part into a large, circular shape, about four times the size of a regular chapati.

7. **Cut into Strips:**

- Cut the rolled dough into long strips, then cut those strips into smaller pieces to form individual Daddies. Dust your working area with flour to prevent sticking.

8. **Fry the Daddies:**

- Heat oil in a deep pan.

- Carefully add the cut Daddies to the hot oil.

- Fry for about 10 minutes or until they turn golden brown, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.

9. **Drain and Cool:**

- Once golden brown, remove the Daddies from the oil and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil.

🍽️ **How to Serve**

Serve the Daddies warm as a snack or alongside your favorite tea. They are perfect for sharing with family and friends or for enjoying on your own!

💡 **Pro Tips**

- Ensure your hands are clean when handling the dough.

- If the dough feels too sticky, resist the urge to add more flour; this is normal for Daddies.
