1. Mix flour, powdered milk,baking powder, and salt together. Cut in shortening. Gradually add 3/4 cup water and stir with a fork until dough clings together. Put dough on lightly floured board. Knead until smooth, 2-3 minutes. Shape each portion of dough into a ball then pat out on a floured board into a 6-7 inch round. In a large pan heat 3/4 inch salad oil to 375 degrees F (or deep fry at 375 degrees F). Only turning once, cook each round of dough until puffy and golden brown.
