1 tb Baking powder
1 ts Salt
1 1/2 c Warm water
1 c Lard for frying (or your

Mix dry ingredients together. Add warm water to dry ingredients. Knead
until dough is soft and elastic and does not stick to bowl. (If
necessary, add a little more warm water. ) Shape dough into balls the
size of a small peach. Let these sit for 15 minutes. Pat out a bit,
pinch edges and then pat back and forth by hand until dough is about
1/2 to 3/4″ thick and is round. Make a small hole in the center of
the round. Melt lard in a heavy frying pan. Carefully, put rounds
into hot fat, one at a time. Brown on both sides. Drain on paper
towels. Serve hot.
