RECIPE ROSS
List of Ingredients
4 cups all-purpose flour + more as needed
4 tbsp. sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tbsp. salt
1/4 cup each vegetable shortening, vegetable oil
2 cups (about) milk, see below
Recipe
Heat oven to 450ºF (235ºC). Sift dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl. Stir in shortening and oil, and work dough with your hands until it resembles coarse meal. Add 1-1/2 cups milk, and stir. Dough should be sticky, but workable. If dough is too stiff, add more milk; if dough is too thin, add more flour. Turn dough out onto a counter (dusted with flour) and knead it hard about 1 minute, but don't overwork it. Pat it out or gently roll it into a 9" circle that is 1/4 - 1/2" thick. Using a fork, prick dough all over. Place it on an ungreased baking sheet and bake 20 minutes. When done, pan de campo should be golden brown on outside and have a biscuit texture inside. Makes 4-6 servings.
