Mendoza-Style Sopaipillas

Ingredients

4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon fine salt
2 tablespoons melted beef fat
325 ml warm water

In a bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder. Pour the melted beef fat into the center and gradually add water until a dough forms. Let the dough rest for 30 minutes. After that time, roll out the dough and cut out circles approximately 10 cm in diameter. Fry the circles in a pan with half fat and half oil until golden brown. Remove from the pan and sprinkle with granulated sugar.
