SANTA FE STYLE SOPAPILLAS 
6 c. flour
1 1/2 tbsp. oil
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 c. warm water

Put all dry ingredients in a mixing bowl. Add oil and rub through hands until blended. Add water a little at a time; until the dough feels the right consistency. Let it stand 10 minutes before rolling.

On a well floured board, roll egg-sized pieces approximately 6 inches in diameter. Fry sopapillas in hot oil until golden brown on both sides. Cut into quarters and serve hot with honey.

NOTE: You may also use this same recipe to make tortillas. Roll egg- sized pieces into 6-8 inches diameter and fry on a lightly oiled cast iron skillet until it blisters. Turn, and cook other side. Serve hot.
