Ingredients:

  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1 tbsp shortening

Directions:

  1. Combine dry ingredients in a bowl.
  2. Cut in the shortening until it resembles crumbs.
  3. Slowly add water and mix thoroughly until you have a good dough.
  4. Knead the dough for a few minutes.
  5. Use flour when needed and break off pieces about the size of a golf ball.
  6. You flatten these balls to about pancake size and fry in hot oil.
  7. I don't remember the reason why but the Indians poke a hole in the center of the dough before frying.
  8. When they are golden, drain on paper towels.
