Directions:
Mix flour, salt and baking powder together. Cut in shortening, so it form a clump when squeezed *. Add enough water to just form a mass. Kneed by fold dough over on it self to form a soft non-sticky dough (about 15 times). Cover with plastic wrap and let dough rest for 5 -10 minutes. Then squeezed off in 1 inch balls...let rest for 10 minutes. Roll out to desired thickness. Cook at high temp (450º) on a un-greased heavy fry pan until top bubbles then turn over.

* If the mixture crumbles, you do not have the shortening mixed in well or have too little (if it makes a hard clump them you need more flour and less shortening).
