"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Directions:
Rub flour, salt, and oil together with your fingers until completely incorporated and fine crumbs form. Pour water into dry ingredients and immediately work it in with a fork. Dough will be in large clumps. Sprinkle with flour and knead until smooth, about 2 minutes. Divide dough into 12-15 portions and shape into balls, about 2" in diameter. Set dough balls on a plate, cover with plastic wrap and let dough rest for at least 30 minutes before baking. Cook on ungreased griddle or heavy skillet until lightly browned, turning once.

Personal Notes:
Food Processor method - Place flour and salt in bowl of processor. Add oil and process about 3 seconds. With machine running, pour water through feed tube in a steady stream. Let machine run until dough forms a ball. Dough should be a medium-stiff consistency. If dough is too stiff, add a little more water. Continue as normal.
