Sopaipillas in Albuquerque
Marck DeCarlo - Taste of America is having a program that includes
sopaipillas in Albuquerque http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sopaipilla I lived in New Mexico in the early 1960's about 3 years, where I discovered sopaipillas among other wonderful foods. I've never had them as good as then. They were not the deep-fried (won-ton like) squares that I've seen everywhere else since then. When brought to your table, they were puffed up like a popover. And you could drizzle honey inside. They were 'lightly' fried, not deep fried, and the skin of the dough when fried was tender, not crispy. Has anyone had sopaipillas like that? Thanks. Dee Dee |

My permanent home is in Albuquerque, NM. I am heading that way on Friday, from Richmond, VA. Speaking of NM, do you know about the first ever NM Cook-in? To be held on Labor Day weekend.... This is the blurb on the rfc web page. At this point, plans are a lot looser than what is posted there.... We will probably still go out to dinner on Friday evening (for those that get there early) and the main cook-in date is Sunday. Between those two things, there are other ideas, but nothing is definite yet. http://www.recfoodcooking.com/events/detail.html And if you think you might like to attend, join the little mailing list I set up so that the planning stuff can be taken off rfc... http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NMCook-in/ I am sure there will be plenty of sopapillas whereever we eat on Friday!! And probably more, if anyone wants to go to the Frontier Restaurant (a landmark) for breakfast one day.. Christine |

Two favorites are up in Santa Fe, La Choza and the Plaza Cafe (the one on Cerillos), where I had what was a close to perfect a meal as I've ever had. Usually, they have certificates for the Range Cafe, but they appear to be sold out of those for all three locations. > > Christine --Bryan |

NM is tooo ar away for me; almost anywhere is anymore ;-)) Thanks for sending the link -- I didn't know about these pages. So appreciated. And another thanks for the answer about sopaipillas. You're the only person that ever confirmed there was such a thing. Happy Trails, Dee Dee |

We ate at a well-known place nearby, on the patio. I will never forget my grandson eating those sopaipillas, with tons of yellowjackets deciding they wanted the honey. We had to stop him putting the gorging wasps into his mouth and he was most indignant about being kept from the goody. Dora |

I don't know if it's anywhere near the same, but I occasionally make sopaipilla. After preparing the dough and folding it over itself and reflattening, I cook it in about a quarter inch of oil and spoon hot oil over the top surface. It puffs well and isn't deep fried. It's great hot and only OK after sitting. It tends to lose crispness as it sits. I got the recipe from "Cuisine of the American Southwest" by Anne Lindsay Greer. And I still use the book when I'm making it. leo -- <http://web0.greatbasin.net/~leo/> |

Real Mexican restaurants have real Mexicans running them, doing the cooking, etc. As opposed to fake Mexican restaurants owned by, run by, and cooked by Anglos. We have two in the area I currently live in: Guadalajara and Cancun. Both are owned by Mexican Americans, employee mostly Mexicans, and the cooks are definitely Mexican. I've been in the kitchens of both places. The rest have catchy names like "Casa Ole", "Casa Manana," etc and the only Mexicans in there are the bus boys who have been hired recently. George |

The Mexican restaurant we go to once a week makes divine sopapillas. They're half moons and puffed up nice and big. You can get them with or without cinnamon sugar. Rip them in half and put lots of honey inside. Mmmmmm!! Ms P |

There is one family owned Mexican restaurant about 50 +/- miles north of us which I just looked and and saw in Chowhound http://www.chowhound.com/topics/171931 "The restaurant scene here is really depressing sometimes. As are the grocery stores. Oh, one other place you might want to try is Viva Mexico in Inwood (West Virginia) Again, not gourmet - but decent food cheap." We've eaten here a couple of times and the food seemed 'real' and everyone there was Mexican. I'd given up on ordering sopaipillas anywhere, but now I'll see what happens there. But I won't take bets on it. I'll give a look-see at "Cuisine of the American Southwest." Looks like it won an award in 1984. Thanks everyone. Dee Dee |

When I grew up, I made them for my children when they were little and they loved them. At one time, you could find them in every Mexican restaurant, well, you can still find them, but they are not the same. They should be light and very tender, instead they are heavy and thick. I have a feeling they are making them this way, for convenience. I wondered if anyone else had noticed, that they are not making sopaipillas like the used to. Becca |

I looked thru the web and a couple of cookbooks I have, but they all say to have about 3" of oil in a deep fryer. When I come to think of it, years ago I did try making them in a cast iron skillet and spooning the oil over the top of them as they were cooking. I can't recall if I ever turned them over, but I don't think I did. So funny, the book "Feast of Santa Fe" of which I have two copies because I thought so much of it (one for mark-up) has about 5 pages devoted to sopaipillas, ending up with a deep fry, browning on both sides before it comes out. The other book I have is Cocina de la familia, (given the Julia Child Cookbook awards) does heat in a heavy skillet or elect fry pan ONE inch of oil to 400; But in the recipe it calls for 3 CUPS; holding them into the oil with a slotted spoon until they balloon or spoon the hot oil over the top. TURNOVER after a few seconds and fry the other side. This sounds more like a recipe that is not a deep-fry recipe for sopaipillas, but 3 cups oil? forget that. Thanks again, Dora, for thinking of me.

Haven't made them in years. Looks like I need to re-learn how to make them so we can have a sopapilla party at the cookin' Also Navajo Fry Bread. :-) I haven't made that in the longest time also.

I have a deep fryer!!!! I made them years ago, after my first visit to NM. I went to Fiesta de Santa Fe/Zozobra...and had them there. It was love at first bite. I got back to the DC area where I was living at the time, and decided to make them for a party. Needless to say, they were a huge hit. Christine, on the road to NM as of tomorrow morning. |

My son drove like a bat out of hell around the curves, would pull up to the edge in a likely spot and say, "OK Mom - this would make a great photo". Right - step out and fall 5,000 feet. I could have got him for matricide. |

The one that goes over the mountain to Jemez. To get to Jemez I would, and did, go via Bernalillo, which does take one right past the Range Cafe. Yeah, like I'd just drive past the Range Cafe. Jemez is nice, as are the innkeepers at: http://www.jemezsprings.org/comp/canyoninn.html Be forewarned that nudity is against the law at the area's hot springs *wink, wink*. --Bryan |

Not scary at all. http://www.amtrak.com The Southwest Chief. What a wonderful way to travel. The food on the train is surprisingly decent too. To heck with driving. --Bryan |

It is in September, if I remember correctly. Maybe even a week later than the cook-in. I will have to look it up. Christine, who is in Nashville tonight, and who will be buying out the store at Penzeys tomorrow. |
