SOPAPILLAS 
2 c. all-purpose flour
1 tbsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. shortening
2/3 c. lukewarm water
Fat for frying
Honey or sugar & cinnamon

Stir together flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in the shortening until mixture resembles cornmeal. Gradually add the water, stirring with a fork (dough will be crumbly).

Turn onto floured surface; knead into a smooth ball. Divide dough in half; let stand 10 minutes. Roll each half into a 12 1/2" x 10" rectangle. Cut into 2 1/2" squares (do not re-roll or patch dough). Fry a few at a time in deep hot fat, 425 degrees, until golden. Drain on paper toweling. Serve with honey or roll in sugar-cinnamon mixture. Makes 40.
