Pinon Bread - cooking recipe

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