    Preparation Notes | 
	 
  
	| 2 C | 
	Flour | 
	
    -   Sift dry ingredients into a large bowl.
 
    -   Rub margarine into dry ingredients until you have 
	a mixture with a cornmeal-like texture.
 
    -   Dissolve the sugar in the water and add to dry 
	ingredients
 
    -   Mix until you have a soft dough
 
    -   Knead dough lightly for 5 minutes
 
	-   Cut into 1 1/2" pieces
 
    -   Heat oil in heavy cast iron pot until it smokes
 
    -   Roll pieces into balls, then flatten to 1/4" thick
 
    -   Drop into oil a few at a time and cook about 1 
	minute or until browned
 
    -   Alternate - May cook these on a hot greased 
	griddle instead of frying.  Will take longer and need turning to brown 
	all sides.
