This is a flat bread that is easy to prepare, and is usually served with something sweet to put on top. Honey or cinnamon sugar. I prefer it with honey butter. Sometimes it can be served with guacamole or bean dips in place of traditional tortillas.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons shortening
- 0.75 cups water
- 2 cups vegetable oil for frying
Instructions

1
In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Using hands, mix in water to make a smooth dough. Knead lightly on a floured surface. Cut dough into 12 pieces, and shape into round balls. Cover, and set aside.

2
Heat oil in deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into thin circles. Cut each circle into triangles. Fry in hot oil, until golden brown, turning when dough puffs. Remove, and drain well on paper towels.

Pork Chops with Hatch Green Chili Sauce
These pork chops with Hatch green chili sauce are seasoned, pan-fried pork chops with a skillet sauce and subtle heat. We like it with lime cilantro rice, black beans, and rolled up, buttered flour tortillas.
Lentils And Spinach
This is my own adaptation of an Indian recipe. It doesn't look like much, but it is surprisingly yummy. Serve this for dinner over hot rice or a diced baked potato. Pair with carrots, cauliflower, or a fresh sliced tomato for a full meal.
Buckeye Cookies
These buckeye cookies are like little peanut butter and chocolate balls. This recipe is perfect to make for sleepovers or parties, as it's pretty simple and doesn't take too long. If you love chocolate and peanut butter, you'll love these buckeyes.
