Ingredients

  • 250 grams flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon shortening
  • 175 milliliters warm water
  • oil for deep-frying
  • honey

Directions

1. In bowl combine dry ingredients. Cut in shortening. Stir in warm water until all ingredients are moist. Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth, about 5 minutes. Cover dough with plastic wrap or a dry towel. Let rest at least 30 minutes.
2. Cut dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough about 1/2 cm thick. Cut into 8 cm squares. Pour oil 8 cm deep into saucepan. Heat to 400*F/200*C. Carefully drop squares 1 at a time into hot oil. Cook until puffed and golden brown, turning once. If sopaipillas do not puff immediately, oil is not hot enough. Drain cooked sopaipillas on paper towels. Serve immediately with honey. Makes 35-40.
