Sopapillas Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Cinco de Mayo Recipes. (Sopapillas Recipe). This is a flat bread that is easy to prepare, and is usually served with something sweet to put on top. Honey or cinnamon sugar. I prefer it with honey butter. Sometimes it can be served with guacamole or bean dips in place of traditional tortillas.
