Authentic Navajo Fry Bread

There are many types of this bread from all over the world,
here is a very good recipe from the Southwest of America.

Ingredients:
4 cups all purpose flour
1 tablespoon double-acting baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups warm water
1 cup vegetable shortening

Directions:
In a bowl whisk together the flour,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 pat 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.
