MEXICAN FRY BREAD

2 c. flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 level tsp. salt
1 tbsp. vegetable shortening
1 tsp. sugar (Florida Crystals)
Warm water

DIRECTIONS:

Mix all dry ingredients.

Add the shortening and enough water to
make a medium soft dough.

Place the dough in a covered bowl and let
stand for a half hour.

Then roll the dough out on a heavily floured
board (so it will pick up more flour) until it
is 1/8-inch thick and kind of rubbery.

Cut into 3-inch squares and fry in deep hot fat
until fluffy brown. They will swell up like little pillows.

Drain on a paper towel and serve hot with jam
and sprinkle with cinnamon
and sugar.

Makes 2 dozen.
