Hello All: Is it better to just all purpose flour, and not sift it for a recipe like this, or can one use a colinder, that feels like a screen to sift flour? Thanks.

I've also encountered them in Christmas tree and shamrock shapes for different holidays. I ate them all the time as a kid, but haven't had one in a very long time now, as I tend to limit my sweets. -----Original Message----- From: Sandy via Cookinginthedark [mailto:cookinginthedark@acbradio.org] Sent: Saturday, July 30, 2016 9:20 PM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Cc: Sandy <sugar1...@earthlink.net> Subject: Re: [CnD] Frying and brownness of fried bread for Charles Here at the Mexican restaurants, when you get them, they are already dusted in sugar, and they serve you packets of honey to spread over them.

They're sometimes called sopapillas, pronounced so-puh-pee-yahs. You can also dust them with powdered sugar or use a bittersweet chocolate sauce with them. -----Original Message----- From: Susan Lumpkin via Cookinginthedark [mailto:cookinginthedark@acbradio.org] Sent: Saturday, July 30, 2016 5:33 PM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Cc: Susan Lumpkin <slump...@austin.rr.com> Subject: Re: [CnD] Frying and browness of fried bread for Charles Someitmes things smell brown too besides being puffy, wouldn't you agree, Sugar?

Do the same for the other side If it's not puffy then keep frying checking for doneness to your likeing. Charles, do amuse me and other's by letting us know when do you plan to make these recipes that you are so worried about? As for me I made these last night and they were wonderful Questions like this can be sent off list instead of cluttering the list with the repeated messages over, over, over and over again Blessings and happy, ssafe frying Sugar 'I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.

Cut in shortening until mixture resembles cornmeal. Stir in milk until mixture forms a firm dough. Knead dough on a lightly floured surface just until smooth. Cover, let rest for 20 minutes. Roll out to 1/4 inch thickness; cut into squares or diamonds. Heat oil in a deep saucepan or deep fat fryer to 375 degrees on deep fat frying thermometer. Fry dough a few at a time, turning often so they fry evenly, until golden brown. Remove from oil with slotted spoon onto paper towel to drain. Serve hot with butter (with a meal) or sprinkled with cinnamon sugar or with a pitcher of warm honey (for dessert).
