Recipe(tried): Pan Tonto or Pan Loco (Crazy Bread)

Hi, i also was looking for this a pan loco recipe like my mothers and found it. This is the closest to the original i can find. Enjoy!

PAN TONTO OR PAN LOCO OR CRAZY BREAD

6 cups flour
2 tablespoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup sugar
1/3 to 1/2 cup shortening (I use Crisco baking sticks)
1 egg
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 3/4 cup sour milk or buttermilk

Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and sugar in a bowl. Cut the shortening into the flour mixture.

Add the egg and vanilla to the milk and add all of that to the flour/shortening. Try to work it as little as possible as you bring it all together to form the dough.

Divide dough into 4 sections and fill 1-inch high and pat out with your hands into 4 round 9-inch cake pans.

Bake at 375 degrees F for 20 minutes or until golden brown. The end result is between a biscuit and bread.

NOTES:
I really like this recipe because it has just the right amount of sweetness to enjoy with a cup of coffee in the morning or with a cup of tea in the afternoon. I also like that it can be made with simple pantry ingredients that I always have on hand.

Makes 24 slices
