This is a favorite family recipe which we have enjoyed for four generations.

4 cups flour

Stir together flour, baking powder, salt, and powdered milk.
Gradually, stir in 1 cup of warm water. Mix well.
Gradually add 1/2 cup warm water mix by hand (like you would meatloaf).
Set aside for 1/2 hour.

Then, pull dough into a thin circle the size of the frying pan.
