Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 tablespoon and 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 ¼ cup whole milk
  • Frying oil

Instructions

How To:

  • In a large bowl whisk together all the dry ingredients.
  • Pour the melted butter into the milk and stir to combine.
  • Slowly mix the wet ingredients with the dry. When combined, gently knead the dough in the bowl.
  • Cover the bowl with a tea towel and let the dough rest for 20 minutes.
  • After the dough has rested, divide it into 14 equal pieces. Roll each piece out into a circle about 5-6 inches in diameter.
  • In a pot begin to heat the fry oil until it reaches 375℉.
  • Fry each piece individually. Start with one side for 30-45 seconds. Flip the dough over and gently use tongs to mold the dough into a taco shape and continue to fry.
  • Once golden brown, remove from oil and let the shells rest on a paper towel lined plate.
  • Serve warm with your favorite toppings.
