Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 c all-purpose flour (plus more, for kneading)
4 tsp baking powder
2 tsp salt
2 tsp granulated sugar
3/4 c vegetable oil
1 1/2 c milk
honey or jam or butter, to serve (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • 2. In a bowl mix together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Add the vegetable oil, and stir gently. Add milk, one cup at a time. Dough should be a little sticky.
  • 3. Dust a bread board or counter and begin to knead the dough two to three minutes (don't over-work it or it'll become dense and tough).
  • 4. Divide dough in half. Roll out each half with a rolling pin to about 1/2 inch thick and place on an ungreased baking sheet.
  • 5. Place baking sheet in oven and bake for about 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown.
