Instructions
- In a large bowl mix together the flour, sugar, salt and baking powder. Then add in the shortening and use your hands to mix the shortening into the flour mixture.
- Then gradually pour the warm water into the bowl and work the dough with your hands until all the water has been added.
- Cover the dough and let the dough rest for 20-30 minutes.
- While the dough is resting, heat 3 inches of oil in a deep pot to approximately 350 degrees F.
- Then roll the dough out into approximately 1/4 inch thick on a lightly floured surface. Then cut the dough into approximately 3 inch squares. I find that it’s easiest to use a pizza cutter to cut the dough into smaller pieces.
- Then place the squares into the oil (3-5 at a time depending on the size of your pot). Fry for 1-2 minutes per side (use tongs to flip the dough) until they are a light golden brown.
- After the cook time, move the sopapillas to a plate covered in a paper towel.
- Repeat the process with all the remaining dough.
- Serve warm drizzled with honey and enjoy!
Notes
- You can also dust the sopapillas with powder sugar before serving!
