Sopapilla Ingredients
Method
Sopapilla Directions
- 1
Prepare the Dough
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Gradually add the warm water to the dry ingredients, stirring until a soft dough forms.
- 2
Knead and Rest
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead it for about 5 minutes until smooth. Cover the dough with a cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- 3
Roll Out the Dough
After resting, divide the dough into small balls (about the size of a golf ball). Roll each ball out into a thin circle, about 1/8-inch thick.
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
- 5
Fry the Sopapillas
Carefully place the rolled-out dough into the hot oil, frying them for about 1-2 minutes on each side or until they puff up and turn golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
