Stir in enough water until dough is smooth and holds together. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios Form dough into twelve 2-inch balls. Place balls onto parchment paper and flatten to 1/2-inch thick circles. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios Heat oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Working in batches, fry a few sopes at a time until lightly browned, about 30 seconds per side. Transfer with tongs to a paper towel-lined plate and let cool just until they can be handled, 2 to 3 minutes. Pinch the edges of each sope together to form a little boat. Return sopes to the hot oil and fry until golden and cooked through, 1 to 2 more minutes. Drain on paper towels. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios Tips You can use warm broth instead of warm water if desired. Editor's Note: We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking.
