Vegetable oil for deep fryer
1 cup of all purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1-1/2 tsp. nonfat dry milk
1 tsp. vegetable shortening
1/2 cup cold water
Heat the
oil in an electric deep fryer to 370°F – 380°F. Combine
flour and next 4 ingredients in a food processor and pulse for 3-4
times. With machine running, pour in water through feed tube and
process about 15 seconds, or until ingredients begin to come
together.
Transfer mixture to a lightly floured work surface and mix
by hand, adding more flour as needed, to make a soft dough.
Roll into a circle about 1/8 inch thick and cut each circle into
12 wedges. Add 2 or 3 at a time to fry basket. Lower into hot oil
and fry 5-7 minutes, turning several times, until golden. Drain
on absorbent paper and repeat with remaining sopaipillas. Serve
with honey, syrup, guacamole or salsa
