In a mixing bowl, blend flour, salt, baking powder, and pepper.
These dry ingredients are the base for the crumblies.
In another bowl, beat the egg and add water.
This will help achieve a smooth batter consistency.
Gradually combine the wet and dry ingredients, mixing well to avoid lumps.
A whisk works excellently for this step.
Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 375°F.
Make sure there’s enough oil for deep frying.
Spoon small portions of the batter into the hot oil.
Fry them until they turn golden brown.
Once fried, place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
