Pinon Bread

My Apache Princess told me about this one as well

• Ready In: 1 hr 45 mins
• Serves: 4-8

Ingredients

• 2  cups  shelled pine nuts
• 1  cup water
• 1  pinch salt
• 2  tablespoons  lard or 2  tablespoons  vegetable oil

Directions

1. Mash the pinon nuts on a metate with a mano or mash with a mortar.
2. Mashed pinons will look like meat, mix mashed nuts with water and salt. Then knead until it is a soft batter.
3. Let batter sit a while before cooking.
4. Put a large skillet on the fire, when it is hot add the lard or vegetable oil.
5. Drop the batter in the skillet by the tablespoonful, flattening out into patties about 3 inches across. Reduce the heat so the cakes cook but do not burn. This bread is tasty either hot or cold.
