I had some seriously delicious food tonight. I dont know what to call it except maybe Taco Casserole. It was some seriously delicious eats. All thanks to my buddy Jeff. So we wrapped up the good food with some sopapillas. Maybe if you ask nicely I will give you all the super simple easy recipe that requires minimal effort and the kids can take part in as well.
And from what I know sopapilla (sopapias) means “little pillows” and this recipe really turns out some soft ones.
Okay, fine. Here’s the recipe: (from Cooks.com)
| MEXICAN SOPAPILLAS | |
|
1 pkg. dry yeast Soften yeast in lukewarm water. Set aside.Combine milk, sugar and salt. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat. Stir in butter. Allow to cool until lukewarm. Stir in beaten egg and yeast mixture. Gradually add flour. Work with hands if mixture becomes too thick to stir. Cover dough with a damp cloth and allow to rise until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours. Punch down, turn out onto a lightly floured board, knead briefly until dough is smooth. Cover and let rest for 15 minutes. Roll to about 1/2 inch thick square and cut with a 2 inch cookie cutter. Heat oil to 350°F. Cook sopapillas a few at a time, browning on one side, and turning only once. They will puff up. Drain on absorbent paper and serve with powdered sugar sprinkle. |
