1/4 c Sugar

6 tb Water; up to 7
Vegetable oil; (for deep

Combine 1 1/4 cups flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in medium bowl.
Gradually mix in enough water to form moist but not wet dough. Turn out
dough onto floured surface and knead until smooth, sprinkling with more
flour or moistening with more water by teaspoonfuls if necessary, about 10
minutes. Wrap dough in plastic. Let rest at room temperature at least 30
minutes and up to 1 day.
Pour oil into heavy medium saucepan to depth of 1 inch and heat to 350F.
Roll out dough on lightly floured surface to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut into 1
1/2-inch squares.
Working in batches, fry dough until puffed and golden brown, turning
occasionally, about 2 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer fritters to
paper towels and drain.
Sift powdered sugar over fritters. Serve with more powdered sugar and
honey, if desired.
Makes about 30.
