My favourite food... to cook for myself

I have never had many opportunities to cook, and when I have done, almost always have been anecdotes to share with my friends, from from putting salt instead of sugar in a cake to almost burning a cake in the oven that my family have.

So, I stopped of experiment in the kitchen until I discovered that the sopaipillas my family cook are easy to do. Sopaipillas are a mass of wheat flour which can have pumpkin or other ingredients, fried with oil. You can eat them putting mustard, ketchup, mayonnaise, tomato and even avocado!

I remember cooking sopaipillas with my grandmother since I have memory. Every winter I go to her house. We meet in the kitchen while we hear tango music and coordinating to do the dough and fry it.

Our specialty is putting a cut of pumpkin in the dough and also make happy faces instead of just holes. Then we put the sopaipillas in the oil and melted butter to give them even more flavor.

The process it is not finished until we remove the excess oil with napkins and without cooling. We eat them with honey and jams of blackberry, strawberry, peach and apricot.
