Sopapillas

2 c Sifted flour
2 ts Baking powder
1 ts Salt
2 tb Lard or shortening
1/2 c Water

Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Work in the lard and water. Form into a soft dough and roll out on a floured board and cut in rectangles. Deep-fry at 400 F, pushing the fritters under the fat two or three times to assure even puffing. Cook on both sides until nicely browned and puffed. Mades 20.
