Sopapillas is a kind of fried pastry; a flat bread that is easy to prepare, and is usually served with something sweet to put on top, like honey or cinnamon-sugar. Ingredients:
4 cups all-purpose flour |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1 teaspoon salt |
4 tablespoons shortening |
1 1/2 cups warm water |
2 quarts oil for frying |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, salt and shortening. Stir in water; mix until dough is smooth. Cover and let stand for 20 minutes.
2. Roll out on floured board until 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick. Cut into 3 inch squares. Heat oil in deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
3. Fry until golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels and serve hot.
4. Note: I've served these with powdered sugar when hot....oh so good!
