1-1/2 t salt
1 T baking powder
1/4 cup instant nonfat dry milk
1-1/4 lukewarm water (about)
Hot fat for frying
In a bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking powder, and dry milk. Add just enough lukewarm water to make a soft dough. Knead thoroughly. Pinch off a ball of dough about the size of a large egg. Shape in round and flat with a small hole in the middle. Then work it back and forth from one end to the other to make it thinner and thinner gradually stretching it to about 9" in diameter. If in a hurry, you can roll out the dough like pie crust. In a frying pan, have ready hot fat at least an inch deep. Drop the thin round of dough into the hot fat and fry to a light brown on one side. Then turn and fry on the other. As it fries, the bread pffs and becomes light and crisp. Drain each piece on a pape towl. Serve hot on paper napkins with butter, jam, or honey. Makes 9 to 12 pieces the size of a 9" plate.
This one is a keeper. So easy to make. I just rolled the balls of dough out on a pastry until pie crust thin and put in the hot skillet. Great flavor and would be great also as a taco shell I think.
