Question

Does anyone have a good recipe for Fry Jacks, I feel in love with them while on vacation in Belize?

Answer 1

INGREDIENTS:

2 Cups Flour

1/4 Cup Shortening

1 tsp Baking Powder (prove)

About 3/8 Cup Water

1/4 tsp Salt

METHOD / DIRECTIONS:

Mix dry ingredients well.

Cut in shortening with a fork until it disappears.

Add water & knead until you have dough. (Add water, one tsp at a time, if it's too dry.) Cover & allow to rest for 10 minutes.

Cut into six equal pieces and knead each piece until you can make a nice round ball.

Form the dough into an apple turnover shape (triangular) and fry in fairly deep fat until they brown and puff up.

and sprinkle powder sugar if you like  

i hope it works out right for you
