Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons shortening
- 1 1/4 cups milk
- vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Sift flour, measure, and sift again with the salt, baking powder, and sugar. Cut in the shortening, and add milk to make a soft dough just firm enough to roll. Cover bowl and let dough stand for 30 to 60 minutes; then roll 1/4 inch thick on lightly floured board and cut in diamond-shaped pieces.
- Heat about 1 inch of oil in a frying pan to about 375 degrees. Add a few pieces at a time, so that you do not cool the oil too quickly. Turn at once so they will puff evenly, then turn back to brown both sides. Drain on paper towels.
- You may want to sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar before eating. Serve with honey.
