How To Make Awesome Sopapillas!

1 1/2 cups warm water

1 pkg dry yeast

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

4 cups flour

1 Tbs sugar

1 Tbs shortening

Dissolve yeast in water, add sugar and shortening then the flour sifted with baking powder and salt.

Mix well and knead. Set aside in bowl with cloth cover for 1 hour(to rise).

Roll dough to a little less than 1/4 inch cut into triangle or rectangles(larger~ about 4 inches long) fry in hot shortening.

Note; Fry only a couple at a time, so fat stays hot, if it is hot they will puff up and become hollow.

Also change out fat if cooking very many.

Drain on paper towels. Dough may also be frozen, makes approx 20 Sopas.

Serve warm with powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar on top or my favorite; warm with honey as a side to chile.

This has been my favorite dessert since I was a kid. To this day, my mom still tells stories of how she would come home from work exhausted and I would beg her to make these until she caved! I am going to try out this recipe for my family this weekend. Thanks for sharing!

Ymmm -- these look so good! thanks for the recipe and tips regarding how many -- and when to change the oil.

ok now you are just teasing me!!! I am stopping by Tennessee on my next trip for dessert!!! lol

your friend in Charlottesville

Oh, Vanessa - YOU ROCK! These look fantastic and I might just make them TODAY! Thanks for sharing.

The bigger question is... WHO CARES? Why are you posting #$%^&&% recipes on a real estate blogging platform? Are you THAT bored? Are you THAT unprofessional? Is that what you want your clients to see? Are you just blogging for points?

It's THIS type of garbage that is diluting the effectiveness and quality of Active Rain.

Paul,

Your rude comment shows YOUR unprofessionalism and lack of respect for your peers by commenting something so rude on their blog. IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT YOUR CLIENTS TO SEE? WHAT A JERK YOU ARE? You're obviously a newbie.

And YOUR comment is the type of garbage that COULD dilute the effectiveness and quality of Active Rain. I don't see it being diluted now, it has been very effective for me. Go somewhere else, we don't want people like you here. You're dismissed.

Paul- You conveniently did not leave me anyway to contact you. Are you an agent, where is your blog and your profile. If you notice there are recipe groups here and many other interests along with Real Estate. My clients love my cooking, I have made many a deal after feeding a client my amazing food! Million dollar deals...so that being said, I am sorry you feel the way you do and I respectfully request you stay off my blog. If I have somehow found my way onto yours, let me know and I will make sure to stay off it. I am terribly non-plussed by this rant and by the cowardice you show in not leaving your full name or info. well, whatever...Have a FABULOUS day! I intend to...

Jennifer- Thanks for the compliment and for having my back.

Joan- Let me know how they turn out!:.)

Charles- Come anytime! You will always be welcome! :.)

Leesa- Yay! Glad you want to make them! Let me know how they turn out!

No problem Vanessa! Have a great day!

It seems like some people don't like your sopapillas, I really have never had one, but they look great. I thought this was a social network. If all we did was list properties, it wouldn't be much fun.

Larry- How true, how true....I will make you and Elizabeth some sometime.

Vanessa - We have the IP address and we wil notify 'Paul' that his comments are unacceptable on this platform. The sopapillas sound delicious!

JAN

Rich- Thanks, but it is really no biggie. Just someone probably upset about something else..who knows. I do appreciate the back up and I agree that in general we all need to be tolerant of each others uniqueness, it is why this works after all...:.) Nice to meet you by the way!

They sound yummy! The version with honey sounds similar to something I had last fall at a local Greek Festival, and those were excellent!

Well done, Vanessa, well done. And the recipe looks good as well.

P.S. Go Jennifer!

Deborah- They are really good! I could eat them like donuts, all day...lol. But then again, I just quit smoking a couple wks ago and I am eating everything! Rawr! hee, hee

Elaine- Thank you very much (curtsey) Nice to see you here! :.)

I have a recipe using tortillas for the soap. Its really good also.

Vanessa - Sopapillas are a must-have item when we go to our favorite Mexican restaurant. Most times we share a meal so we have room for the dessert. :-) Thanks for sharing the recipe.

I know this is going to sound stupid, but I didn't even know what those were? Thanks and now I am hungry thanks to your wonderful cooking, so tell you what, can you please fax me a few of those, like 5 would be good and if they are as good as they look, maybe I can order a dozen: Sopapillas! - Lance

Oh, I just read that PAUL POST, I also heard about it from Rich's Blog. Well all be darned, so this is where that guy posted that BS comment at my friends and associates website blog, OOOOHHH, that really irks me Vanessa, but don't let that guy bother you, just fax me some Sopapillas! Lance

Thanks Elaine! We just don't need that negativity in AR or in our lives! -Jennifer

Cindy- a recipe using tortillas for sopa's? How? only thing I can think of is folding them and deep frying...that might be good! hmmmmm

Nancy- You are most welcome! I hope you try them, they are easier than you think!

Lance- That is so funny, it's not stupid thought. Lots of people probably have had them and not known what they were..they are delicious, however faxing them detracts appreciably from the taste...sorry! lol

Jennifer- Muchas gracias, Senora! *smile*

Clarification;

I have chosen to leave "Paul"s post here not to incite an AR riot but because I believe in the freedom to disagree. I don't have a problem with someone not liking me or what I say(write) and I will not delete opposing views just because they don't agree with me. That diversity is what makes this community and this Country as a whole something to fight for. I simply would appreciate knowing who is yelling at me. lol. So, Paul if you read this, feel free to email me and tell me off. No problem..it is really not about you anymore, but about integrity and honesty.

Vanessa,

He's just jealous that he didn't think of the recipe first:)

I'm with Neil, Vanessa. The guy obviously doesn't know what a good sopapilla tastes like here in the Southwest. I'm ashamed to share a name with that clown. Any chance you have a few carne adovado secrets to share?

JAN

2008

Neal- Yeah, that's it!....:.)

Paul- I promise not to hold the name against you..prob not the real name of the poster anyway. Yes I do have a secret or two on Carne adovada. The biggest secret is 2 teaspoons of sugar and use a smoky red chile....shhhhhhhhh don't tell anyone.

JAN

I LOVE sopapillias & I have never looked at a recipe for them so thanks for sharing this! :)

Melissa- Sure thing! Try it, they are easier than you would think. Just make sure the grease is HOT and stays hot.

JAN

2008

Melissa- You are welcome! Let me know how they turn out!

I made them last night and they were FABULOUS! ( I ate WAY TOO many!!) Have to do 5 miles on the treadmill now!! (yeah right!)

Jennifer- Awesome! I am so glad they came out good and you liked them! I am about to hit the treadmill also, as I had potato chips for breakfast! Doh!

JAN

These sound great, I am loving all of your recipes, keep sharing them.

I'e never heard of Sopadillas. I thought it was a joke. I am going to love this group. Who knew that it existed. I just love Active Rain. This is something that my kids and I will definitely try!!

Vanessa, I never heard of these either but they sound good and I will make them.

I am going to make "honorary" New Mexicans out of all of you!

:.)

Kate- Welcome and I hope you have a lovely time in the 'rain'. Try these out, they rock!

Pat- Let me know how they turn out. They are much easier than people think, you can also use them for wraps instead of flat bread etc..carne is fabulous stuffed in a sopa!

JUN

2008

I have no issues with recipes...I do have issues with jokes that are stolen from other sites and aren't the original posters material.
