Preparation

Step 1

Method:

Dissolve yeast in water and add to milk.

Combine dry ingredients in a medium-size mixing bowl and cut in shortening.

Make a well in center of dry ingredients. Add liquid to dry ingredients and work into a dough.

Knead dough for 10 minutes, or until smooth; cover, and set aside.

Heat 2-inches of shortening on a heavy pan at medium-high heat.

Roll dough to a 1/8-inch thickness on a lightly floured board. Cut dough into 4-inch squares and fry until golden on both sides, turning once. Sopaipillas will puff and become hollow.

Note: Sopaipillas may be served as a bread. They may be served with honey (bite off a corner and pour the honey into the sopaipilla) or they may be filled with a savory stuffing.
