Poke a hole with a finger through the center of each round so that the breads will fry evenly.In a large heavy skillet heat the shortening over moderately high heat until it is hot but not smoking, in it fry the rounds, 1 at a time, for 2 minutes on each side, or until they are golden, and transfer the breads as they are fried to paper towels to drain.Makes: 8 fry breads
