I first made this on 06/04/02. Very tasty and easy to make. Fluffier and more bread-like than versions I've tried before. I like to add 1 more tbsp. of shortening and about 1/4 cup of white sugar. I like to use these when I make something for dinner that has a sauce like curry or something. Try different things like adding spices to the dough that's similar to your main dish. My family loves these! Ingredients:
3 cups flour |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 tablespoon baking powder |
1 1/2 cups water |
1 tablespoon shortening |
oil (for frying) |
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.
