2 c. all-purpose flour
1/4 c. shortening
1 tbsp. double-acting baking powder
1 tsp. salt
2/3 c. milk
Salad oil
1 tbsp. confectioners' sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon

In large bowl with fork or pastry blender, mix flour, shortening, baking powder and salt to resemble coarse crumbs. Add milk, stirring until dough holds together; turn dough into lightly floured surface and knead until smooth, about 3 minutes. On lightly floured surface with lightly floured rolling pin, roll 1/2 of dough into 12 x 9 inch rectangle (set remaining dough aside). Cut rectangle into 3 c 3 squares. Repeat with remaining dough.

In 3 quart saucepan heat 1 1/2 inches salad oil to 375 degrees. Fry 2 dough squares at a time in hot oil, turning with slotted spoon, as soon as they rise to the surface and turning often until both sides are golden brown. (Dough will puff up). Remove puffs to paper towels and drain. Serve warm or cold. Mix confectioners' sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle on top or top with honey. Makes 24.
