I was still a young woman when I volunteered to make sopapillas for the whole community. My inexperience didn’t know that cooking for a crowd was far different than making a home recipe. My immaturity didn’t think to modify the leavening I needed. So, in my ignorance, my grocery list included ten packets of yeast .
I’d made sopapillas before and figured it would be an easy way to help with the youth fund-raiser. Since these fried, puffed tortillas only contain six ingredients ; my expenditure would remain low like our newlywed budget.
After doing the math, I got to the fellowship hall a few hours early for dough assembly. I kneaded the mixture in a punch bowl, as nothing else was big enough to hold five pounds of flour . Once my husband arrived, we began our fail-safe system. I rolled out and cut sopapillas while Mark kept two electric skillets busy, frying the dough till puffed and golden brown.
