3 c. flour
1 tsp. salt
1 1/3 c. warm water
3/4 c. shortening or oil
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder

Mix together flour, salt and baking powder. Add water, then knead until dough is soft (by hand). Melt shortening in frying pan until hot. Take a piece of dough, flatten and drop into fat. Dough should be round and thin, similar to a tortilla. After it is fried it should puff up and be beautifully brown.
