Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Making the Dough

    In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the shortening or butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually stir in warm water until a soft dough forms.

  2. 2

    Kneading

    Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 2-3 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Rolling Out and Frying

    On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut into squares or triangles. Heat oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 375°F (190°C). Fry the pieces until they puff up and turn golden brown, about 1-2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Serving

    Serve warm, dusted with powdered sugar, and drizzle with honey or syrup if desired.
