   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    2      cups          flour
    2      Tablespoons   sugar
    2      teaspoons     baking powder
    1      teaspoon      salt
      1/2  cup           shortening
      1/3  cup           ice water
 
 Sift flour, baking powder, sugar and salt into a bowl.  Work shortening in as
 or pastry.  Add ice water, using only enough to hold dough together.
 
 Divide into 12 even sized pieces and roll to make rounds about 3 to 4 inches.
 
 Place a spoonful of filling, such as taco meat, apples, pumpkin or minced
 cherries, in center of each.  Moisten edges with cold water.  Fold in half
 and seal edges by pinching.  Fry in hot oil until light brown.  If making
 fruit filled fry bread, roll the pockets in 1 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon of
 cinnamon while still hot.
 
 Alternative method:  Bake bread pockets at 350 degrees for about 20 to 25
 minutes, then sprinkling with confectioner’s sugar.
