My mother’s recipe for float doesn’t require any resting or rising time because it doesn’t contain yeast. That will make the morning a little easier!

2 cups flour
2 tsp. sugar
1 Tblsp. shortening (no more)
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
water to mix

Mix flour, salt and baking powder together. Add the shortening and rub in. Dissolve the sugar in 1/3 cup of water and use this to mix the flour mixture to a soft dough. Knead lightly, cut into pieces the size of an egg and roll into balls. Flatten the balls to 1/4 inch thickness and roll paper thin. Fry in hot oil until golden brown. Drain on kitchen paper and serve
