Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add water, mixing until the dough becomes smooth and soft. Cover the dough and let it rest for about 10 minutes.
Prepare the Filling: If you're using cheese, cooked vegetables, or meats, combine them in a separate bowl. Add herbs or spices for additional flavor if desired.
Shape the Saucers: Divide the dough into small balls and roll each ball into a thin disc using a rolling pin. Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each disc, leaving some space around the edges.
Seal and Fry: Fold the dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape or pouch. Press the edges together firmly to seal them. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat and fry the saucers until they are golden brown and crispy, turning them occasionally for even cooking (about 3-4 minutes per side).
Drain and Serve: Use a slotted spoon to remove the saucers from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce.
