I use just about the same recipe except leaving out the hole. Then I use
them for tostadas.

> The Indians of the Southwest make baking powder breads that they fry in

> fat. Begin 5 minutes ahead. 16 servings. 1 tbsp. baking powder 1 tsp. salt
> 1 c. water Salad oil
> 1. In medium bowl, stir together flour, baking powder and salt. Add water;
> stir until well mixed, adding a little more water, if needed.
> 2. Divide dough into 16 equal parts, roll into a ball. On floured
> surfaces, roll each as thin as possible. Make hole in center of ball with
> finger.
> 3. In 4 quart saucepan, heat 2 inches oil. Fry 1 piece at a time, about 30
> seconds on each side until golden, turning once with a slotted spoon.
> Drain on paper towels; serve. Yield: 16.
