Ingredients

• 2 cups flour (all-purpose or bread flour)
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
• 3/4 cup warm water

Recipe

• 1 combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl. in another bowl combine the warm water and oil.
• 2 add the water/oil mixture to the flour mixture, one tablespoon at a time and mix the dough with a fork. once the water is mixed in, add another tablespoon of water and repeat the process until all the water is mixed into the dough.
• 3 (at this point the dough is still sticky.).
• 4 lightly flour a board, or the counter and knead the dough 5 minutes; adding flour as needed to prevent stickiness.
• 5 once you have a nice smooth dough, place the dough back into the bowl and cover it with a damp towel or damp paper towel. let the dough rest for 20 minutes.
• 6 divide the dough into golf-ball-size balls by pinching off the dough with your thumb and fore finger. form each ball into a nice ball shape.
• 7 place the balls on a flat dish making sure they don't touch each other and cover with the damp cloth.
• 8 let the dough rest again for 10 minutes.
• 9 roll out the balls into flat circles; about a fourth of an inch thick. fry in an un-greased skillet until brown spots appear on both sides. usually 30-60 seconds per side.
