Ingredients:

Serving

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 tbsp baking powder
4 tbsp vegetable shortening
2/3 cup water or 2/3 cup milk
1/4 cup oil (for frying )

Directions:

Combine flour, salt, baking powder and shortening; mix until shortening is blended. Add water; mix well.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured board; knead until smooth, about 2 minutes.
Roll dough into a ball; place into a plastic bag.
Separate and roll out enough dough to make six 4- to 6-inch thin, flat rounds.
In a cast iron skillet, heat oil to 375 degrees F.
Place rounds in oil; cook each side 20 to 30 seconds or until light golden brown.
Use a slotted spoon to remove rounds from skillet; drain on paper towel.
Fill with prepared fillings as desired.
