Add sugar, salt, eggs and evaporated milk and mix well. Stir in 4 c flour, 1c at a time. Add shortening and beat until well blended. Add remaining 3 c flour, 0.5 c at a time. Dough will be stiff, so last amounts of flour will have to be worked in by hand. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refridgerate overnight or up to 5 days. When ready to fry, roll dough to 1/8 in thickness and cut into 3" by 4" rectangles. Heat oil to deep fryer to 360 deg F and fry 3-4 pieces at a time, turning once or twice during cooking.
