Macheteadas

Macheteadas are like a fried pancake.  Another breakfast item, it goes well with coffee or milk.  My mom doesn't make these very often, but when she does, its always a special treat.  Hope you enjoy! 

Special thanks to my sister-in-law, Priscillia, for helping my mom with the format of the recipe and the picture taking :)

Ingredients: Makes approximately 16 

vegetable oil for frying

3 1/3 cup of all purpose flour

1 egg

1 tablespoon of baking powder

1/2 cup of sugar

1/2 cup of milk

Directions:

Mix all the ingredients by hand in a medium size bowl. Knead the dough on a floured work space until dough is smooth.  

 Divide the dough into sixteen round balls.  Stretch each ball into a flat circle and with a knife make two 2 inch vertical cuts in the middle.  Make sure the oil is hot before placing one to fry.  With the helping of a fork, fry them until golden brown on both sides.  

Place on top of paper towels to drain off excess grease.

Enjoy!!!
