1. **Mix the Dry Ingredients**
In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar (if using). Stir well to distribute evenly.
2. **Add the Wet Ingredients**
Gradually add the milk (or water) and oil (or butter) to the dry mixture. Stir until the dough comes together. Knead gently for about 2-3 minutes until smooth and soft.
3. **Shape the Dough**
Divide the dough into small portions and shape them according to your preference: flat circles for frying, rolls for steaming, or squares for pan cooking.
4. **Cook Without an Oven**
– **For Pan-Fried Treats:** Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook each piece for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
– **For Steamed Delights:** Place the pieces in a steamer and cook for 10-12 minutes.
– **For Stovetop Baking:** Use a heavy-bottomed pot with a lid, preheated on low heat, to “bake” the pieces for 15-20 minutes.
5. **Add Your Favorite Toppings or Fillings**
Once cooked, enjoy them plain or add your choice of topping—sweet or savory. Spread chocolate, drizzle honey, or stuff them with cheese and herbs for a delightful twist.

### **Tips for Success**
– **Texture Control:** Add a little more milk if the dough feels too dry or extra flour if it’s sticky.
– **Even Cooking:** Use medium heat to ensure the dough cooks evenly without burning.
– **Get Creative:** Experiment with spices, herbs, or sweet flavors in the dough itself for endless variations.
