4 c flour
4 ts baking powder
1 ts salt
3 tb lard/shortening
3/4 c water
1 oil for frying
Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt into large bowl. Cut in lard
and mix with hands until mixture resembles cornmeal. Stir in warm water
to make a dry dough. Knead until smooth, about 5 minutes. Cover dough
with plastic wrap and let stand for 30 minutes. Roll out dough about 1/4
inch thick on a lightly floured surface. Cut into 3 inch squares. Pour
oil about 3 inches deep into a fryer and hea to 400. Carefully drop dough
squares a few at a time into hot oil. They will immediatly puff up. Turn
to brown other side. Drain on paper towels.
