Navajo Fry Bread

List of Ingredients
4 cups all purpose flour
1 tablespoon double acting baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups water
1 cup vegetable shortening
In a bowl whisk together the flour, the baking powder and the salt, stir in the water and knead the mixture on a floured surface until it forms a soft but not sticky dough. Let the dough stand, covered with a kitchen towel, for 15 minutes. Pull off egg size pieces of the dough and oat and stretch them into 1/4 inch thick rounds. Poke a hole with a finger through the center of each round so that the breads will fry evenly. In a large heavy skillet heat the shortening over moderately high heat until it is hot but not smoking. In it fry the rounds, 1 at a time, for 2 minutes on each side, or until they are golden and transfer the breads as they are fried to paper towels to drain.
