4 C flour
1/4 C shortening
1 t salt (scant)
1 1/2 C warm water
Cut shortening into the flour and salt. Add warm water to make a soft dough. Knead until smooth. Divide into golf ball size pieces. Roll out to about 1/4 inch thick. Fry in very hot cooking oil until golden brown on both sides. (Dough can be stored several days in refrigerator). As an alternative to frying, bake the dough – prepare the same way. (We like it better baked than fried.)
For meals, you can add any combination of the following: Refried beans, Taco, meat, Shredded lettuce, Diced tomatoes, Shredded cheese, Sliced, olives, Diced onions, Salsa, Pico de Gallo salsa, etc.
Or serve with butter, honey, and/or powdered sugar.
