Ingredients:
1 package dry yeast |
1 tablespoon sugar, divided |
1 1/2 cups warm water (105° to 115°) |
1 tablespoon shortening, melted |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1 teaspoon salt |
4 cups all-purpose flour, divided |
vegetable oil |
honey |
Directions:
1. Dissolve yeast and 1 teaspoon sugar in warm water in a large bowl, stirring well; let stand 5 minutes or until bubbly. Add remaining sugar, shortening, baking powder, salt, and 2 cups flour; beat at low speed of electric mixer until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to make a soft dough.
2. Place dough in a greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85°), free from drafts, 1 hour or until doubled in bulk.
3. Punch dough down; turn out onto a lightly floured surface, and let rest 5 minutes. Knead 4 to 5 times. Roll dough to 1/4-inch thickness; cut into 3-inch squares. Cut each square in half to form a triangle.
4. Gently drop dough triangles into deep hot oil (375°); fry only a few at a time, turning once. Cook until sopaipillas are golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Serve hot with honey.
