Ingredients:

- 2 cups of rice flour

- Water

Equipment:

- Large pot with a lid

- Wooden spoon or spatula

- Mixing bowl

- Rolling pin

- Plastic wrap

Instructions:

1. In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil.

2. In a mixing bowl, add 2 cups of rice flour and slowly pour in 2 cups of hot water while stirring the mixture with a wooden spoon or spatula. Mix until a smooth dough forms.

3. Once the water in the pot is boiling, reduce the heat to low and add the rice flour dough. Stir constantly with the wooden spoon or spatula until the dough is cooked and has formed a smooth and thick consistency. This should take about 10-15 minutes.

4. Remove the pot from the heat and allow the Tuwo Shinkafa to cool for a few minutes.

5. Knead the dough with your hands until it is smooth and no longer sticky. If the dough is too dry, you can add a little bit of water to make it more pliable.

6. Divide the dough into small balls and roll them out into thin rounds using a rolling pin.

7. Wrap each round in plastic wrap to keep it from sticking to the other rounds.
