4 C flour
2 t baking powder
1 t salt
4 T shortening
1 1/2 C warm water
1 quart oil for frying
Mix flour, baking powder, salt and shortening. Mix in warm (almost hot) water until smooth. Cover and let stand 30-40 minutes.
Roll out to 1/4 inch thick. Cut into squares (optimum 3 inches). Heat oil to 375 (using a candy thermometer) and fry until light brown. Serve hot with, cinnamon sugar, or powdered sugar and honey butter.
**The rolling out of this dough and cutting makes them fry up so light and airy! They keep great in a paper towel lined bowl in a 200 degree oven until the whole batch is done.
