Cut shortening into flour, baking powder and salt until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Gradually add enough water to make a stiff pastry like dough, tossing with fork until all flour is moistened and dough almost cleans side of bowl. Gather dough into a ball; divide into halves and shape into 2 flattened rounds. (Cover half to prevent drying.)

Heat oil (1 1/2 to 2 inches) to 360 degrees. Roll 1 half of dough 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick. Cut into rectangles. 3 x 2 inches or 3 inch diamonds.

Fry 3 or 4 rectangles at a time, turning once, until puffed and golden brown. 1 to 2 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining dough. Dip puffs into Honey Butter or sprinkle with Cinnamon Sugar.
