 Categories: Breads, Snacks
      Yield: 12 Servings

      1 c  A-P flour
  1 1/2 ts Baking powder
    1/4 ts Salt
      1 tb Shortening
    1/3 c  Water; warm
           Oil; for deep-fat frying
           Confectioners' sugar and
           - honey (optional)

  In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in
  shortening until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Gradually add
  water, tossing with a fork until a loose ball forms. Dough will be
  crumbly.

  On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough for 3 minutes or
  until smooth. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes. Roll out into a
  12x10" rectangle. Cut into 12 square shapes with a knife or cut
  into 12 circles using a round biscuit cutter.

  In a deep-fat fryer, heat 2" oil to 375°F/190°C. Fry sopaipillas
  for 1 to 2 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels; keep warm.
  If desired, dust with confectioners' sugar and/or serve with
  honey.
