Fry Jack  (a traditional breakfast food, often served with refried beans and eggs. can also be served with jam or with cheese.)

-700g plain flour, sifted
-1 Tbsp baking powder
-1 Tbsp butter
-up to 350ml water
-salt, to taste


1) Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl. Add the butter and rub in with your fingers then gradually add the water until the mixture comes together as a fairly soft (but not sticky) dough. Turn this onto a lightly-floured surface and knead lightly until smooth and elastic.
2) Tear off pieces of the dough and shape into balls about 3cm in diameter then roll flat, fold over and shape into rough triangles.
3) Heat oil or butter in a pan and use to fry the dough triangles until golden brown and puffed up (about 4 minutes per side).
