Can you make sopapias ( mexican honey puffs) with corn tortillas or are flour tortillas required?

Posted by: admin  /  Category: Mexican Recipes


Will a corn tortilla puff up?

Sopopillas are made with flour. Here is an easy recipe to make your own.

4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons shortening
1 1/2 cups warm water
2 quarts oil for frying

In a large bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, salt and shortening. Stir in water; mix until dough is smooth. Cover and let stand for 20 minutes.
Roll out on floured board until 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick. Cut into 3 inch squares. Heat oil in deep-fryer to 375 degrees F. Fry until golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels and serve hot with butter and honey.
Hope this helps..
