      4 c  Flour
      2 ts Sugar
    1/4 c  Shortening or lard
      1 tb Baking powder
  1 1/2 ts Salt
  1 1/4 c  Water or more if needed
 
  Sift dry ingredients together. Cut in shortening until crumbly. Add
  water and mix until holds together. Knead 10-15 times until dough
  forms a smooth ball. Cover and let set for 20 minutes. Divide dough
  into two parts. Roll dough to 1/8" thickness on lightly floured
  board. Cut into 3" squares or triangles. Do not allow to dry; cover
  those waiting to fried. When ready to fry, turn upside down so that
  surface on bottom while resting is on top when frying. Fry in 3" hot
  oil until golden brown, turning once. Add only a few at a time to
  maintain proper temperature. Drain on paper towels.
