1. Prepare the Crust:

1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
2. Cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Gradually add warm water, stirring until a soft dough forms.
4. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 2 minutes, then cover and let rest for 20 minutes.
5. Roll out the dough to 1/4-inch thickness and cut into squares or triangles.
6. Heat oil in a deep skillet to 375°F (190°C). Fry the dough pieces until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes per side.
7. Drain on paper towels and serve warm with honey or dusted with powdered sugar.
