Start by mixing shortening and sugar in a bowl.

Stir in baking soda, salt and flour. Slowly add in milk to the mixture as well.

Roll the dough out on a wooden/plastic tray coated in flour (to avoid stickiness)

Using a triangle shaped cutter, cut out the shapes from the dough (if you do not want them to be triangle shaped, you can always stick to the circle shape!)

Wait for the oil to heat in a pan until hot.

Gently place donuts in oil and fry until golden. Turn them over once.

Drain extra oil with a paper towel or sieved bowl before serving.

Heat blocks of chocolate in a glass (microwave safe) bowl placed inside a pan with hot water. Make sure the hot water doesn't seap into the glass bowl with the choclate cubes.

When chocolate cubes have melted, remove from pan and mix in milk and chocolate powder alternating; until you create a consistency that you are happy with.

Serve donuts with bowl of chocolate sauce, or drizzle over donuts.
