Sift flour, baking powder, salt and sugar into large bowl. Cut in shortening

Knead dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth. Let reset 2 minutes.
Roll out to 1/4 inch thick; cut into squares or diamonds.
Heat oil in deep saucepan or deep fat fryer to 375°. Fry a few at a time,
turning often so they fry evenly until golden brown. Remove from oil with
slotted spoon to a paper towel to drain. Serve with butter and honey or
cinnamon.
