Pinon Bread

Directions

1. 1
   Mash the pinon nuts on a metate with a mano or mash with a mortar.
2. 2
   Mashed pinons will look like meat, mix mashed nuts with water and salt. Then knead until it is a soft batter.
3. 3
   Let batter sit a while before cooking.
4. 4
   Put a large skillet on the fire, when it is hot add the lard or vegetable oil.
5. 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.
