Stir together the flour, baking powder and salt.

Cut in shortening until mixture resembles cornmeal.

Gradually add the water, stirring with a fork (dough will be crumbly).

Turn onto a floured surface and knead into a soft ball.

Divide the dough in half and let stand 10 minutes.

Roll each half into a 12 x 10-inch rectangle and cut into 2 1/2-inch squares. (Do not re-roll or patch dough.)

Deep fry a few at a time in fat until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and serve with Honey Butter or roll in cinnamon and sugar.
