Sopaipillas
This is pretty much a standard Mexican food recipe. If you are not familiar with rolling out dough for pastries it may take some practice, but it is well worth it.
Prep Time: 1 hour
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients:
- 2 cups flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons shortening
- 2/3 cup warm water
- oil or shortening for frying
Preparation:
Mix the flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Using a pastry cutter, or two sharp knives, cut the shortening into the flour until it resembles course meal.Gradually add in the warm water and mix until a dough forms. Use your hands to knead the dough for 1 minute and then cover and set aside for about 45 minutes.
Separate the dough into 2 pieces. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a rectangular shape about 1/8 of an inch thick. Cut into 3-4 inch squares.
Fry in hot oil until brown on each side. If oil is the correct heat, the dough should puff up within a few seconds. Place on a paper towel covered plate.
Serve warm with honey for dipping or toss in a cinnamon sugar mixture.
