Preparation
- 1
Make the Dough
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the warm water gradually until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.

Roll and Cut
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes. After resting, roll the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into 2-inch squares or triangles.

Fry the Sopapillas
Heat oil in a deep fryer or a deep skillet to 375°F (190°C). Fry the dough pieces in batches until they puff up and turn golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove them and drain on paper towels.
