I have tried several different recipes for sopapillas through out the years with little to no luck.....tasteless, flat, greasy etc. You seem to have the secret, or is it the yeast? What ever it was, they turned great and my quest for the perfect "soppypillow" (3 year old grandson) has come to an end. Thank you so much for sharing
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
<p>I'm a 60 year old man living in south Arkansas with my wonderful wife. we've been married almost 35 years and we both love to cook. I became disabled and confined to a power chair in 1990 so I have a lot of time to try new recipes. In our church I'm famous for my melt in your mouth briskets. But nobody grills a porterhouse steak like my sweetie. We are looking for new recipes all the time. When I found RecipeZaar I new I had hit the jackpot. Our favorite restaurant is an all you can eat place called The Old Feed House; <br />Catfish, froglegs,ribs, etc with all the trimmings. Standing room only at times.</p>
