    I was thrilled to see this recipe in the video showing what is in your cookbook!! My favorite meal in the world is bean and cheese sopapillas from a restaurant in my hometown. Have you guys tried stuffing the dough with savory fillings in a half moon shape and pinching the ends together like an empanada? If not, do you think it would work? I have always wanted to be able to have my favorite meal anytime I want! And you guys make everything look so doable and of course delicious, I think I just may be able to now!!! Thank you! I will be ordering volume 1 and 2 on payday and can’t wait!

      I have never used the dough like that Stephanie but what you might do is sometime when you make the sopapillas you might try to do a couple up as empanadas. One thing too I have found with sopapilla recipes is to be sure to roll them as thin as to can. I causes them to puff up better. Thank you on all the kind words on our books we really appreciate it. Hope you have fun with them and they help.

      You won’t go back. Yeast makes a better flavor.
