Ingredients

1 3/4 c. flour
4 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
2 Tbsp. shortening
2/3 c. cold water
salad oil

Preparation

Combine
flour, baking powder and salt; cut in shortening until
coarse crumbs form.

hold
together.
Turn
out
onto a lightly floured board. Knead
gently
until smooth.
Cover and let rest for 5 minutes. Roll into a 12 x 15-inch rectangle.
Dough should be very thin. Cut
into 3-inch squares.
Drop a few squares at a time into deep hot oil.
Turn squares 3 or 4 times at first to make them
puff evenly.
