Receta: Sopaipillas con pebre

In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt together.

Add the vegetable shortening and mix until crumbly.

Gradually add warm water, mixing until a soft dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.

Cover the dough with a cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thick and cut into squares or circles.

Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat.

Fry the dough pieces until they puff up and turn golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.

In a separate bowl, mix the diced tomatoes, onions, cilantro, salt, pepper, and chili powder to make the pebre sauce.

Serve the sopaipillas warm with the pebre sauce on the side.
