Sopapillas

My sister asked me for this recipe the other day; she thought she would share it with her grandchildren. I remember when I was about 14 I made this recipe on a regular basis. As I told her, it's definitely the one I used because the recipe is stained from frequent reference!


Sopapias (Fried Bread)

2 c. flour
1 t. baking powder
1 t. salt
1 T. shortening
3/4 c. water

Mix above (it has a texture like pie crust). Roll out in thin round. Cut circle in quarters. Fry these pie-shaped pieces in deep fat like tortillas. Will puff up. Serve warm with butter or honey. (I always sprinkled powdered sugar over them)
