This weeks International Cooking Class was fabulous! Sister Garcia taught us how to make Sopapillas. We were all so busy eating that we forgot to take photos.
Because so many of you have asked for the recipe we have included it at the end of this post. Thank you Sister Garcia for teaching this class, we all thoroughly enjoyed it. We hope to see more of you at next months class.
