First time posting in this forum....
My Tex-Mex game is pretty good, but I fail at sopapillas. They puff (the oil is hot enough), but they are "heavy". I've tried thinner, to the point they blow out a hole and do not puff I let them rest longer. I do not the dough rest at all. I know the baking powered if fresh (tested and it fizzes with a little warm water) and I bought new Tired a little less and a little more shortening. WTF? Flour, shorting, baking soda, salt, water. It cannot be rocket science. When I can find a Sopapilla mix, they come out like I would expect. Is there some magic ingredient that makes them lighter? |

I have tried several times, each time has been a fail…and I am not a bad cook by any means. I can make a mean Gordita, mean tortillas, etc. These things frustrate me. |

Try milk instead of water.
