These are incredibly easy and so yummy!

Ingredients

• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt

• 4 tablespoons shortening
• 1 1/2 cups warm water
• 2 quarts oil for frying

Directions

1. In a large bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, salt and shortening. Stir in water; mix until dough is smooth. Cover and let stand for 20 minutes.
2. Roll out on floured board until 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick. Cut into triangles (or use cookie cutters to make fun shapes). Heat oil in deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) or until hot enough that when you drop a small bit of dough in it it fries up within a couple of minutes. Fry until golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels and serve hot with honey.
