2 tablespoons of shortening or 1/4 cup of vegetable oil
a pinch of salt
1/2 teaspoon of lemon rind
2 teaspoons of baking powder
3 cups of flour

Mix all ingredients. Knead dough. Make small balls of dough, then roll them into thin logs, form circles, or knots. Put on a greased cookie sheet. Bake for 30 minutes or until golden.
Optional:
Sprinkle a little brown sugar on top before baking. Rosquillas from Nicaragua use cheese in the recipe too.
