Sopaipillas - 1

Recipe Ingredients

1 cup	62g / 2.2oz	All-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons	7.5ml	Baking powder
1/4 teaspoon	1.3ml	Salt
1 tablespoon	15ml	Shortening
1/3 cup	78ml	Warm water
		Cooking oil - for deep-fat frying
		Honey - optional
		Confectioners' sugar - optional

Recipe Instructions

In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Gradually add water, stirring with a fork. The dough will be crumbly. On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough for 3 minutes or until smooth. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes. Roll out into a 12x10" rectangle. Cut into 12 squares. In a deep-fat fryer, heat 2" of oil to 375F.

Fry sopaipillas for 1-2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels, keep hot in a warm oven. Serve with honey or dust with confectioners' sugar, if desired.
