Ingredients
2 cups Flour + some for rolling out
2 teaspoons Baking Powder
1⁄2 teaspoon Salt
2 Tablespoons Shortening
3⁄4 cup warmed milk
oil (for frying) (at least 3" deep in sturdy pan)
Directions
Sift together flour, baking powder and salt.
Cut shortening in until mixture is a rough texture.
Gradually add warm milk.
Mix to form dough.
Knead until smooth.
Cover and let stand for 20 minutes (this will make it easier to roll out).
Start oil heating (desired temp is 375° - 400°).
On a lightly floured board, roll dough thin (between 1/4 and 1/8 inch).
Cut into 3 inch squares.
Fry a few at a time, turning when golden and puffed up, about 2 minutes, each side.
Drain on paper towels.
Best when served immediately. Serve with honey or powdered sugar, cinnamon. Or slice open and stuff with meats and chile.
