Cathy

A simple bread cooked on the stove or grill such as the cowboys would have made over an open fire.

ingredients

2 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp melted butter or oil
1 cup water or beer
1 tsp oil

directions

1
In a mixing bowl, sprinkle the salt and baking powder over the flour and stir well. Stir the sugar and butter (or oil) into the water (or beer)and pour over the flour mixture. Stir until you have a sticky dough, then dust your hands with flour and form the dough into a flat donut shaped cake about 3/4 inch thick. Heat the
2
remaining oil in a frying pan over high heat, then add the dough and immediately reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 5 minutes on each side. Serve piping hot.

notes

You can also take pieces of dough, about the size of a small egg; roll them into a ball then flatten to about 1/4 " thick and grill or cook on the stove.
