Step by Step Method
Step 1
Pre-Heat oven to 400 F about 205 C.
Step 2
Place Flour, Salt, Baking Powder and Shortening in a bowl.
Step 3
With finger tips rub shortening and flour mixture together (like when making biscuits, the flour and fat should form bread crumb like clumps).
Step 4
Add Coconut Milk slowly to crumbs like flour mixture and work with hands to make a dough.
Step 5
Add 2nd cup of Coconut Milk, just enough to make a soft dough. If dough feels stiff add a little more coconut milk.
Step 6
You are not making bread so do not over mix or knead.
Step 7
As soon as you have a nice soft dough roll it out into a long strip about 12 to 15 inches. Cut the rolled dough into 1 1/2″ to 2″ size pieces.
Step 8
Shape into round balls put on greased baking sheet.
Step 9
Flatten lightly with palm of hand and prick with a fork.
Step 10
Bake in hot oven until golden brown typically about 10 to 15 minutes.
Step 11
