INGREDIENTS 2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup instant lowfat powdered milk
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons double acting baking powder
1 tablespoon lard
3/4 cup lukewarm water
Vegetable oil for fryingIn a small bowl mix together flour, powdered milk, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the lard until mixture resembles coarse meal.
Add water and knead lightly for 1 minute. Turn out onto a well floured surface and knead until a smooth ball forms. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and shape each into a small ball. Cover with an inverted bowl and let rest for about 10 minutes.
On a floured surface roll each ball into a 6-inch circle. Poke a hole in the center of each round of dough. In a skillet heat about 1 to 1-1/2 inches of vegetable oil, until smoke appears. Fry the dough rounds one at a time until golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels and serve hot.
