Ingredients

2 cups Sifted all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon Salt
¼ cup Butter or margarine
Salad oil or shortening

Directions

1. Sift flour with salt into large bowl. Add butter, mixing well with fork.

2. Stir in about 6 tablespoons water, mixing to make a soft, pliable dough.

3. On lightly floured surface, knead dough 5 to 7 minutes, or until it is

shiny and satiny. (Or put dough through medium blade or food chopper

about 10 times, or until it is shiny and satiny.) 4. Roll out dough about ⅛-inch thick. Cut into 3-inch rounds.

5. Meanwhile, in deep skillet or deep-fat fryer, slowly heat salad oil (or at least 2 inches) to 360*F on deep-frying thermometer.
