mixture of corn syrup and bacon drippings.

1 tablespoon solid shortening, melted
2 cups lukewarm milk
Fat or oil (for deep-frying)
Sift flour, salt and baking powder into bowl.

Knead lightly to gather dough into ball.
Roll out dough
on lightly floured board.

Heat fat or oil in deep fryer to 370 degrees F.
Fry 2 or 3 at a
time until golden on both sides.
