Dough Ingredients

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the lard (or vegetable shortening) and mix until crumbly. Gradually add warm water, stirring until the dough comes together.

  2. 2

    Knead and Roll Out

    Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth. Roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch thickness.

  3. 3

    Cut the Sopaipillas

    Using a knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough into squares or triangles, about 2-3 inches in size.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large, deep skillet, heat about 2 inches of oil over medium-high heat until hot.

  5. 5

    Fry the Sopaipillas

    Carefully drop the cut dough into the hot oil, frying a few at a time. Fry until they puff up and turn golden brown, approximately 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Serve with Honey

    Serve warm, drizzled with honey or alongside a small bowl of honey for dipping.
