Join me and let's see how to make Sopaipillas

Instructions:

Step 1

Mix the flour with the baking powder, add the egg, the pinch of salt and place the cooked pumpkin; with your hands, grind and integrate the ingredients. The amount of water varies depending on the quality of the flour, so we recommend that you add the water little by little, until the dough has a consistency that allows you to touch it without sticking to your fingers.

Step 2

Wrap it in film and refrigerate for 1 hour, then stretch the dough and use a dough cutter, or with the help of a plate and knife you are making the soup.

Step 3

Once you have them cut, make some holes in them with your fork.

Step 4

Heat up a lot of oil, enough to cover the sopaipillas; when it is around 160º it starts to fry them; if you don't have a thermometer, try it with a piece of dough, if it starts to bubble as soon as you insert it, the oil will be ready.

Step 5

He is very carefully placing the sopaipillas, they should not stick together so it is better to do them in small batches. Once they are browned, remove them from the oil.
