Healthy Pumpkin Sopaipillas

Ingredients

• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 1 cup white flour
• 1 cup wholemeal flour
• 2 Tbs oil
• 2 tspp of baking powder

Preparation

1. Mix all the ingredients until you get a smooth but not sticky uniform dough.
2. Extend the dough and leave ½ inch thick. With a glass or wide-mouth jar, cut circles in the dough to obtain the shape of the sopaipillas.
3. With a chopstick, knife, or other utensil make a hole in the center, or use a fork to make holes two or three times in each sopaipilla.
4. In a preheated frying pan, place 2-3 Tbs of oil, just enough so that the sopaipillas brown on both sides and thus obtain a crunchy texture, and that “touch” of flavor but without having to dip them in fat to fry them. The process of browning the sopaipillas in a little oil is brief, just to "seal" them.
5. Transfer them to a baking sheet and put them to finish cooking for 15-20 minutes.
6. Serve hot.
