Re: Mexican Cuisine
Sopaipillas Sonora
By Socorro Munoz Kimble & Irma Serrano Noriega
4 cups flour
1 1/4 tbsp salt
3 Tbsp baking powder
3 Tbsp sugar
2 Tbsp shortening
milk
oil for frying
Sift flour, salt, baking powder and sugar together. Cut in shortening and add just enough milk to make a soft dough, firm enough to roll. Cover bowl and let dough rest 30 to 60 minutes. Roll 1/4 inch thick on lightly floured board and cut in diamond-shaped pieces.Heat one-inch of oil in a frying pan to approximately 370 to 380 F. Add a few pieces at a time. Turn at once so they will puff evenly on both sides; then turn back to brown on both sides. Drain on paper towel. Sprinkle with powdered sugar or cinnamon-sugar mixture. (Makes 50 to 60 sopaipillas or sopapillas)
