Sopaipilla Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Preparing the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Add the lard (or vegetable shortening) to the dry ingredients and mix until crumbly.

  3. 3

    Gradually add warm water, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead for a few minutes until smooth.

  4. 4

    Resting the Dough

    Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rest for about 30 minutes.

  5. 5

    Rolling and Cutting

    Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick. Cut into squares or circles.

  6. 6

    Frying

    Heat the oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the dough pieces until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.

  7. 7

    Serving

    Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with honey or syrup.
