I guess it isn’t THAT late - 9:45, but we went out to an early dinner and I said I was going to make sopapillas when we got home, but I forgot, so here it is, 9:45, and I am digging through Cooks.com. Here is what I found and here is what we are trying:

2 c. flour
3 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. shortening
Oil for deep frying

Sift dry ingredients together in bowl. Cut in shortening until crumbly. Add 1/2 cup warm water gradually, stirring with fork. Dough will be crumbly. Turn onto lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth. Divide in half. Let stand for 10 minutes. Roll each half into 1 x 12 1/2 x 1/8 inch rectangle. Cut into 3 inch squares. Fry, several at a time, in deep fat at 400 degrees for 30 seconds on each side. Yield: 40 sopapillas.
