Sopapillas are puffy little pillows of air surrounded by a crisp flaky crust. They're good with butter or honey or whatever you like! Combine flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in shortening thoroughly.
Sprinkle in water, 1 Tbsp at a time, tossing with fork until all flour is moistened and dough almost clears the side of the bowl. Gather dough into a ball. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes. Heat 2" of oil. Roll dough into a rectangle on lightly floured board. Cut into little 3" x 2" rectangles. Fry till puffed and golden, turning once (about 2 minutes) Drain completely on paper towels.
