.BAKES
This is a bread similar to a pitta bread or roti eaten in the Caribbean Islands
2 cups all purpose flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon salt 8 tablespoons butter 1 teaspoon sugar
About 3/4 cup water
About 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl, then cut in the butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in sugar. Stir in enough water to make a soft dough. Knead dough gently on a lightly floured surface. Cut into 4 to 6 pieces and roll each piece into a ball. Let stand 5 minutes.
Flatten the balls to 1/4 inch thick rounds. Heat oil in a skillet medium heat. Add rounds and cook until golden brown, turning. Drain on paper towels and serve warm. Makes 4 to 6 pieces.
