Directions
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 ¼ inch thick on lightly floured board and cut in diamond-shaped pieces.
Heat about 1 inch of oil in a frying pan to about 370F to 380F.
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.
