In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and powdered milk (if using).
Add 1 tbsp oil and mix.
Gradually add warm water and knead until a soft, smooth dough forms (about 5 minutes).
Cover with a damp cloth and let rest for 10 minutes.
Divide the dough into 8-10 equal-sized balls.
On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into a thin circle (about ¼-inch thick).
Heat oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat (about 350°F/175°C).
Carefully slide one dough circle into the hot oil.
Fry for 30-45 seconds per side until puffed and golden brown.
Flip and fry the other side.
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Enjoy plain, with honey, or as a base for savory toppings like taco fillings.
