Ingredients & Directions
2 c All-purpose flour 1 c Water (approx)
1 ts Salt Vegetable shortening OR oil
1/4 lb Butter For deep frying
Sift the flour and salt into a bowl. Using 2 knives or a pastry
cutter, cut in the butter until small particles are formed. Stir in
the water to make a soft dough. Put the dough on a lightly floured
board and knead until it is smooth and holds together. Roll out the
dough very thin with a lightly floured rolling pin. Cut the dough
into 5-inch circles. Heat the vegetable shortening or oil until it
reaches a temperature of 370 F. Fry a few pieces of dough at a time
for 2 to 3 minutes, turning once until lightly browned. Drain. Serve
hot. Makes 8 to 10.
