    Sopaipillas

    teaspoon salt

    teaspoon baking powder

    1 teaspoon butter (softened)

    1 teaspoon active dry yeast

    Oil for frying

    Combine flour, yeast, salt, and baking powder in a medium bowl. Cut in butter

    until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Make a well add milk and toss the flour

    with the liquid. Add additional warm water if necessary so the dough just holds

    together. Gather the dough together and knead 13 times. Cover with a cloth and

    let stand about 10 minutes. Heat oil in a deep-fat fryer or a deep pot (I use large

    frying pan). On a floured work surface, roll out half the dough to a sheet. Cut

    into triangles repeat with other half of dough. Add a few triangles at a time to the

    hot oil. They should puff soon after being dropped into the hot oil. Hold each

    down with tongs to assure puffing. Fry each batch until golden on both sides, 3 to

    5 minutes in all. Drain on paper towels. Serve hot, warm or room temperature.
