Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup hot water
- 2 to 3 cups refined coconut oil for frying; vegetable oil also works
Makes: 5inch round, 0.25inch height
Instructions
- In a medium bowl mix the flour, baking powder and salt.
- Add the water and stir to combine then use your hands to gently turn the dough over on itself a couple of times to pick up any loose flour in the bottom. The dough will be quite sticky.
- Cover with a towel or plastic wrap and let the dough rest 1 to 2 hours.
- When you're ready to fry, heat 1 to 2 inches of the oil of your choice--I use refined coconut oil but vegetable oil would also be fine--in a skillet or deep pot to 350 degrees. Use a thermometer if you are unsure when your oil is that hot.
- While the oil heats up, break off golf ball size balls of dough and either roll or stretch the dough to about 1/4" thick if you can do it.
- Fry on one side until puffed and golden brown; about 3 minutes then turn and fry the other side until cooked through and golden. Drain on paper towels and serve warm with honey butter and powdered sugar, or top with savory toppings like taco meat and all the fixings.
