2 c. flour
1 tbsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. vegetable shortening
2/3 c. lukewarm water
oil (for frying)
honey or sugar and cinnamon

Stir together flour, baking powder and salt.

Cut in shortening until mixture resembles cornmeal. Gradually add the water, stirring with a fork (dough will be crumbly). Turn onto lightly floured board or surface; knead into a smooth ball.

Divide dough in half. Let stand for 10 minutes. Roll each half into 12 1/2 x 10-inch rectangle. Cut into 2 1/2-inch squares (do not re-roll or patch dough). Fry a few at a time until golden brown. Drain on paper towel. Serve with honey or sugar and cinnamon mixture.

Yields 40.
