| 4 cups regular all-purpose flour | 1-1/4 teaspoons salt | 3 teaspoons baking powder |
| 3 tablespoons sugar | 2 tablespoons shortening | milk (about 1-1/4 cups) |

| 1 | Sift flour, measure, and sift again with the salt, baking powder, and sugar. Cut in the shortening, and add milk to make a soft dough just firm enough to roll. Cover bowl and let dough stand for 30 to 60 minutes; then roll 1/4 inch thick on lightly floured board and cut in diamond-shaped pieces. |
| 2 | Heat about 1 inch of oil in a frying pan to about 375 to 380 F. 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 toweling. Serve with butter. |
