Add the orange juice and 2 tablespoons of water, and process 15 seconds.

  2. Sprinkle flour lighly on the work surface. Remove the dough from the plastic and sprinkle with more flour if you feel it is a little sticky. Roll with a rolling pin to ¼ inch thickness and cut into 1-inch-wide strips. Cut again crosswise into 1-inch diamond shapes. Place all the 1-inch diamond-cut pieces on the side, and roll each one to 1/8 inch thick. Don’t worry, they won’t stick to the table; just peel them off the counter and fry.
