Ingredients

Servings

2 cup All purpose flour (or 1 cup flour and 1 cup blue corn meal)
¹⁄₂ tsp Salt
¹⁄₂ tbsp Baking powder
³⁄₄ cup Warm water
Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

Making the bread
1. In a bowl, combine flour, salt, and baking powder. Add the warm water and stir. Remove the dough from the bowl and knead for 5 minutes, until the dough is soft but not sticky. I had to add a little more flour.
2. Form 6 small balls of dough, flatten into discs (about a 1/4 inch thick).
3. Pour 1 inch of oil into a deep skillet. Heat over medium-high. Fry the dough until golden brown on each side. I recommend just doing one at a time.
4. Remove from the oil and place it on a paper towel (to absorb the excess).
5. Serve while still warm!
You can make these sweet if you would like as well. Just top with honey and/or powdered sugar.

Notes

If you make the version with blue cornmeal they may not rise as much as those made from just regular flour. I recommend pulsing it in a food processor and then sifting the blue corn before adding it. However, they taste great!
