Directions
Mix together dry ingredients
Mix in water & knead on floured surface 'till it isn’t sticky anymore.
Then I usually put the dough in a plastic bag or wrap with plastic wrap to keep the dough from drying out. Heat lard in cast iron frying pan, but don’t let it smoke!
Pull off a piece of dough about the size of an egg & shape into about a 9 inch round.
Poke a hole in the middle & add to hot lard & fry on each side until golden.
Drain on paper towels ( I use pieces of brown paper bags, it's cheaper & works just as well!!)
Note: Don’t ask me why this recipe has dried milk in it!!! It’s great so I have never questioned it!! I always use lard, though if you are worried about how healthy this is, you could use oil.
