Istruzioni

Gather all ingredients.

Stir together flour, shortening, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Stir in water; mix until dough is smooth. Cover and let stand for 20 minutes.

Heat oil in a deep fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Roll dough out on a floured board until 1/8- to 1/4-inch thick.

Cut into 3-inch squares.

Fry dough squares in the preheated oil until golden brown on both sides.

Drain on paper towels and serve hot.

Note

A sopapilla is leavened dough that is fried, then often dusted with either powdered sugar or cinnamon-sugar. The frying process causes the dough to rise, leaving it with a hollow center. Sopapillas are common in Latin American and Tex-Mex cuisines.
