In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
Gradually add the warm water and mix until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough for a few minutes until smooth and elastic.
Cover the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball.
In a large skillet, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Fry the bakes in batches for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
Drain the fried bakes on a paper towel-lined plate and serve warm.
