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. Heat about 1 inch of oil in a frying pan to about
370o to 380o. 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.
Makes 4 dozen or more.
