Instructions

Combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center of flour; add shortening, milk and eggs. Beat until flour is blended. Toss dough on lightly floured bread board; knead smooth. Add more flour if necessary. Roll dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut into 3x5-inch strips. Puncture each strip with tip of a table knife several times to make a puffier cruller when frying. Fry in hot oil until brown on one side. Turn and brown other side. Drain and eat warm.
