#417 - sopapillas

I made sopapillas a few weeks ago...delicious and easy to make.

I used this recipe, but it was way too much and I ended up freezing almost 3/4ths of the dough. I wouldn't recommend freezing them because they didn't turn out as well after being defrosted.

Next time I'll make a smaller recipe...here's my new smaller recipe:

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon butter flavored crisco
• 1/4 cup and 2 tablespoons warm water
• 2 quarts oil for frying
• honey/powdered sugar for toppings
  

Directions

1. In a large bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, salt and shortening. Stir in water; mix until dough is smooth. Cover and let stand for 20 minutes.
2. Roll out on floured board until 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick. Cut into 3 inch squares. Heat oil in deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (I didn't have a thermometer, but the burner was about medium/medium high). Basically, I threw a small piece of dough in and if it started frying, then it was ready. Fry until light golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels and serve hot with honey & powdered sugar.

Anybody ever try these? Did they work? I think I might try these, they look yum and who couldn't benefit from lower cholesterol?

#411 - 2 Before & Afters from the web

I saw these 2 before & after's on the web and I totally want to do them. I'm posting them here, so that I will remember them after I have the baby (nope, still not here.)

We need to redo our basement stairs and this remodel looks so good! Or should I just stick to putting down new carpet?

And this easy lamp remodel (fyi, there are lots of great remodel ideas on this webblog), so cheap, yet looks so good!

Pepe wants to keep our lamps the brass color...what do you think? Would they look better painted? If so, what color? Our lamps look a lot like the before picture (but a little brighter brass) with a cream lamp shade.
