Caramelized Fry jacks

Not quite the fry jacks in Belize, but I tried... Next time I suggest that the sugar sprinkled on after they are fried.

3 c flour

1 1/2 tbsp baking powder

2 tsp sugar + sugar to cover tortilla

1 tsp salt

water

2 tbsp coconut oil  + coconut oil for frying

Mix together flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder well

add oil and mix well

add water until ingredients are wet but dough still sticks together and doesn't stick to you hands

knead until dough gets kind of elastic

pat out into a tortilla

cut in half

heat oil until almost smoking

cover tortilla with sugar (after doing it.. it's better if you do this step after frying)

place in oil until puffs up and is golden

yum yum!

In belize they make them without sugar and serve with refried beans and eggs.  They seem to puff better than mine. It's a work in progress!
