4 c. regular flour
1 1/4 tsp. salt
3 tsp. baking powder
3 tbsp. sugar
2 tbsp. shortening
1 1/4 c. milk
Oil for frying

Sift flour, measure, and sift again with 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 30 to 60 minutes. Roll 1/4" thick on lightly floured board, cut into diamond shaped pieces.

Heat 1" oil in pan (370 to 380 degrees). Add a few pieces at a time, turn at once so they will puff evenly, turn back to brown both sides. Drain on paper toweling. Serve with butter or honey. Makes 4 dozen.
