- 1 tsp Salt
- ⅔ cup Milk
- Oil
- 1 Tbl Confectioners Sugar

- In a 3qt saucepan over medium heat, bring 1½ inches of oil to 375F.
- Fry 2 dough squares at a time in hot oil, turning with slotted spoon as soon as they rise to the surface and turning often until both sides are brown (dough will puff up.)
- Remove puffs to paper towels to drain. Serve warm.
- In small bowl mix sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle on sopapillas and serve.
