Add all the dry ingredients with the butter in a bowl and mix to form crumble.

Add the egg and water and mix to form a thick stretchy batter, then add water to the flour in bits till you achieve the desired consistency. Do not overwork the batter

Place a shallow pan on medium heat, add vegetable oil and allow to heat up till hot By dropping in a small batter, test the oil for readiness. If the batter floats atop, then it's ready.

Carefully drop the batter in the hot oil in batches but don’t overcrowd the oil. Reduce the heat and fry the buns till golden brown and well done

Repeat this process until you have exhausted the whole batter mix. Tip: reduce the heat each time you are frying a new batch then turn the heat back up to for even cooking. This way the buns doesn't turn brown quickly without cooking through. Thank me later lol

Use a slotted spoon and transfer the buns on a paper towel. Serve buns cool or cold with any chilled soft drinks of choice or iced water.
