Sopaipillas This is pretty much a standard recipe. INGREDIENTS: 2 cups flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons shortening 2/3 cup warm water oil or shortening for frying PREPARATION: Mix the flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Using a pastry cutter, or two sharp knives, cut the shortening into the flour until it resembles course meal. Gradually add in the warm water and mix until a dough forms. Use your hands to knead the dough for 1 minute and then cover and set aside for about 45 minutes. Separate the dough into 2 pieces. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a rectangular shape about 1/8 of an inch thick. Cut into 3-4 inch squares. Fry in hot oil until brown on each side. If oil is the correct heat, the dough should puff up within a few seconds. Place on a paper towel covered plate. Serve warm with honey for dipping or toss in a cinnamon sugar mixture.

sopapillas- go to wal mart get tortilla flour mix, follow directions on back, roll out, fry

I know what you are talking about but cannot readily locate the correct recipe. I saw Rick Bayless prepare them on a barbecue grill and he called them something like huarache (he even joked it was because they look like a sandal print). Maybe if you got a book at the library of his you could find it since I tried food network and his named website to no avail. It is a staple from central Mexico so I hope you can find it. Good Luck!
