3 c all purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
2 1/2 Tbsp baking powder
6 Tbsp margarine
1 c milk (or water)
OIL FOR FRYING
2 inches vegetable oil

Steps:

  • 1. Combine flour, salt, baking powder and shortening; mix until shortening is blended. Add water; mix well. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured board; knead until smooth, about 2 minutes.

  • 2. In a cast iron skillet, heat oil to 375 degrees F. Place rounds in oil one at a time; cook each side 18 to 35 seconds or until light golden brown. Remove rounds from skillet with a slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Fill with prepared fillings as desired or eat as a bread with soups and stews.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor and texture.
  • Make sure the masa harina is fresh and finely ground.
  • If you can't find masa harina, you can make your own by grinding dried corn kernels into a fine powder.
  • Be careful not to overwork the dough, as this will make the fried bread tough.
  • Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet for frying the bread.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet when frying the bread, or it will not cook evenly.
  • Serve the fried bread hot with your favorite toppings.
