SOPAPILLA

Steps:

• Serving suggestions: honey, or beans, taco meat and pork, or New Mexican chili and cheese
• Mix the flour, baking powder and salt very well. Then add in the shortening and mix until well combined. Add 1 1/2 to 2 cups water and knead until you have a nice dough.
• With a rolling pin, roll out the dough to a 1/4-inch to 1/3-inch thickness and cut 4 to 5-inch squares or triangles of dough.
• Heat the oil in a large pan to 375 degrees F.
• Put the dough squares into the oil and carefully splash the tops, which will make the squares puff up. Flip and do this on the other side, until golden brown, about 1 minute per side.
• Eat warm with honey or make a stuffed sopapilla with beans, taco meat or pork, or smother with New Mexico chili and cheese and enjoy.

STUFFED SOPAPILLAS

Steps:

• Dissolve yeast w/water and then combine all ingredients except flour.
• Add 2 c flour and mix, it will be soupy.
• Let this rise 1 hour.
• Then mix in 3 c flour till soft but not sticky dough.
• Let rise 1 hour.
• Roll out to 1/4 inch thickness (no thinner!) on lightly floured surface to prevent sticking.
• Cut into triangles or squares about 3 inch by 3 inch.
• Let rise approx 1/2 hour.
• Deep fry in hot oil (not too hot or the outside will be brown inside doughy) to golden brown on both sides.
• When you fry them you have to bump the sides of the dough against the deep fryer. This helps make the center puff up.
• Cut one side open and stuff with taco toppings (hamburger, lettuce, onions, tomatoes, etc.).
• Frost any left overs w/maple frosting or honey and butter for dessert.

SOPAPILLAS

Steps:

• Sift the dry ingredients together in a large mixing bowl. Add the shortening and water, work them in with your hands to make a soft, pliable dough. Add more water, 1 teaspoon at a time, if the dough feels too dry. Gather the dough into a ball and wrap in plastic wrap. Put the dough in the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour so it will firm up a bit and be easier to roll and cut. (Dough can be prepared 1 day ahead, refrigerated.)
• Unwrap the ball of dough and put on a lightly floured surface, cut in half. With a floured rolling pin, roll each piece of dough into a circle, about 1/4-inch thickness. Using a paring knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough into triangles as you would a pizza. You should end up with 6 or 8 triangles per circle.
• Heat 2-inches of oil to 375 degrees F in a heavy skillet or deep pot over medium-high heat.
• Fry a few of the sopapillas at a time, keeping an eye on maintaining the oil temperature. As the sopapillas puff up and rise to the surface, flip them over with a slotted spoon, skimmer, or chopsticks; about 2 minutes on each side. Carefully remove the sopapillas from the oil and drain on several layers of paper towels or a brown paper bag. Cool slightly. Serve hot with honey or cinnamon sugar.
