Method
Making the Sopapilla
- 1
Prepare the Dough
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the vegetable oil and warm water, mixing until a dough forms. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes, then cover it with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Roll and Cut
On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into squares or circles (about 4 inches in diameter).

Fry the Sopapillas
In a deep pan, heat oil for frying. Fry each piece of dough until golden and puffed, about 1-2 minutes on each side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
