I grew up on these heavenly sweet treats! They're so light, I'd easily eat a few of them without getting too stuffed. I always loved making a little hole and pouring my honey inside of them and then flipping it a few times to thoroughly coat the inside! These heavenly treats are definitely worth the effort of making them!
1 package active dry yeast 1-1/2 cups warm water (105°F to 115°F) 1 tablespoon shortening, melted 1 tablespoon sugar 4 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon salt vegetable oil sifted confectioners' sugar sugar honey ground cinnamon Dissolve yeast in warm water in a large mixing bowl, and let stand 5 minutes. Stir in melted shortening and sugar. Combine flour and salt. Gradually stir the flour mixture into the yeast mixture, and mix well. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead until smooth and elastic (about 2 minutes). Place in a well-greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85°F.), free from drafts, 1 hour or until doubled in bulk. Punch dough down and roll to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut into 2-1/2-inch squares. Pour oil to a depth of 3 inches into a frying pan (or use deep fryer). Heat oil to 375°F. Fry a few sopapillas at a time in the hot oil, lightly pressing down on them with the back of a fork, until the dough starts to puff. Release pressure, and continue frying until golden brown, turning once; drain. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar or cinnamon sugar and serve hot, with honey. Makes about 24 pieces.
