Name: Sopaipillas #1
Ingredients: 4 c Sifted flour; 1 tb Baking powder; 1 1/2 ts Salt; 3 tb Granulated sugar; 1 tb Shortening; 1 Cake compressed yeast; 1/4 c Warm water; 1 1/4 c Scalded milk; cooled to room temperature; 2 tb Cinnamon; Honey (optional); Corn oil

In Philippians 3, Paul explained how his “righteous merit” exceeded any on the planet. If anyone could have earned heaven it would have been him. Yet Paul knew we can never earn God’s favor. The only hope we have is the righteousness of Jesus Christ given to us as a gift when we embrace Him by faith. Though the specifics are different, the boasts are the same: I was born in America. I grew up in a devout Christian family. I was baptized. I read my Bible and pray every morning. I faithfully attend church. I serve in the church. I participate in the Lord’s Supper each month. I am blameless in my obedience to the Scriptures. All of these are excellent, but when we use them to earn God’s saving favor, they are but “rubbish.”

INSTRUCTIONS

1.  Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and 1 tbs. sugar.  Cut in the
shortening.
2.  Dissolve the yeast in lukewarm water and add to the scalded milk.
3.  Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.  Add the liquid and
work into the dough. Knead the dough 15 to 20 times. Set aside about 10
min.
4.  Roll the dough to 1/4 in. thickness.  Cut into triangles.
5.  Fry in very hot corn oil (420 F., if you have a fat thermometer), a few

6.  Combine the remaining sugar with the cinnamon.  Dust the sopaipillas
with the mixture. Drizzle with honey, if desired, before serving.
