How to Make Sarah S Sopapillas
- Whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon baking soda in a large bowl.
- Cut in 1/2 cup shortening using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add 1/2 cup lukewarm water, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead on a lightly floured surface for 5 minutes.
- Cover the dough and let it rest for 20 minutes.
- Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to 1/8 inch thickness.
- Use a knife or pizza cutter to cut the dough into 3-inch triangles.
- Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium-high heat (350°F/175°C). Carefully fry the sopapillas in batches for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and puffed up. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as strawberry jam, honey, cinnamon sugar, or savory options like chili.
