   Use a pastry blender to mix the shortening into the flour, salt and baking powder.

2. 2

   Add the hot water and stir with fork until it forms a dough. (You may add more water if it is too dry, or flour if it is too wet.) Knead a couple of times, and place in a plastic bag to rest for 20 minutes.

4. 4

   Fold the dough in half and let rest a few minutes.

5. 5

   Roll again to a 1/4" thick rectangle.

6. 6

   Heat 3 inches of oil in a 3 quart saucepan (or deep fryer) to 350 degrees.

7. 7

   Cut the dough into 3" x 4" rectangles (some like triangles).

8. 8

   Fry one or two at a time - make sure you spoon oil over the top to encourage even cooking!

9. 9

   Drain on paper towels and sugar or honey to serve.
