Sopapilla Dessert

This is a classic fried dessert bread of Mexico. They’re great hot out of the fryer and rolled in cinnamon sugar.

Step: 1

Heat 8 cups shortening in a deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step: 2

In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in 2 tablespoons shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually stir in water just until dough pulls together. Divide dough into 4 pieces and form each piece into a ball. Roll the balls into 8 inch diameter circles. Cut each one into 8 wedges. In a large bowl, mix together the cinnamon and sugar. Set aside.

Step: 3

Fry the wedges until they puff up and turn light brown. Drain briefly, roll in the cinnamon sugar and serve hot.
