Recipe - Fried Dough

2 pound Flour; (45 cups)
1 One half teaspoon Salt
1 tablespoon Sugar
4 tablespoon Shortening
2 cup Warm water
1 pack Yeast

Dissolve the yeast in warm water. Add remaining ingredients and knead a
bit. Let rise about one hour. Pinch off a piece about the size of an egg
and make a hole in the middle. Fry in 12 inches of oil. Drain on paper
towels. Shake in a brown bag with granulated sugar.

NOTES : The fried dough that I literallly grew up on was just plain Italian
bread dough. No sugar and no shortening. Can't keep this cooking fast
enough!! ENJOY!!!
