Sopapillas #1
8 Servings
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 4 | cups | Flour |
| ¾ | teaspoon | Salt |
| 2 | teaspoons | Baking powder |
| 1 | tablespoon | Shortening |
| 1 | cup | Warm water |
Directions
Thoroughly mix dry ingredients; add shortening & blend well. Slowly add about 1 cup warm water & knead until smooth. Your dough should be about the consistency of pie dough or a little stiffer. Cover with damp cloth & let rise about 1 hour. Roll out thin, 1/32 of an inch. Cut in rectangle strips 3x4 inches. Cook in deep fat at 400 as you would cook doughnuts, immersing & turning until golden brown. If sopapillas fail to rise, oil is not correct temperature & dough is not thin enough. Serve with warm honey.
