[net.cooks] fattening "Mexican" treat - sopaipillas

lmb@mhuxm.UUCP (breda) (05/05/84)

This discussion on sopaipillas has whet my appetite, and
brought back fond memories of a pleasant evening spent gorging
myself on stacks of this delicious bread.  I was in Denver
in a mad millionaire's pink adobe Mexican restaurant/castle,
the first and only time I had them.  Does anyone know the
name of the place - it has a three-story waterfall, several
full-size theaters, an arcade, and so-so cheap food other than
the sopaipillas?  It's a fun place, in spite of the food.

Well, my local NJ Mexican restaurant - El Ranchero - also
has sopaipillas.  However, their version is a giant deep-
fried bread shell full of ice cream, honey and cinnamon.
It was good, but I prefer the first version better.
Since my local source isn't quite what I'd hoped for,
any recipes out there?

The name of the mad millionaire's Mexican restaurant is Casa Bonita.
Although the food isn't that great the atmosphere is really
interesting.
