2 tbsp shortening
1¼ tsp salt
1¼ cup milk
3 tsp baking powder
3 tbsp sugar
oil for deep frying
Sift
flour, measure and sift again with salt, baking powder and sugar. Cut in shortening and add milk to make a soft dough just firm enough to
roll. Cover bowl and let dough stand
30-60 minutes. Roll out to ¼ inch thick
on lightly floured board and cut into diamond shapes. Heat about 1 inch of oil in a frying pan to
about 375º. Add a few pieces at a time ,
turn at once so they will puff evenly.
Then turn back to brown both sides.
Drain on paper towels. Serve with
butter and honey.
