Step-by-Step Instructions
1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until well combined.
2
In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar and eggs until light and fluffy.
3
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
4
Knead the dough for 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
5
Divide the dough into 4-6 equal pieces, depending on how large you want your Torta Frita to be.
6
Roll out each piece of dough into a thin circle.
7
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, carefully place a dough circle into the oil and fry for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
8
Remove the Torta Frita from the oil and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
9
Repeat the frying process with the remaining dough circles.
10
To assemble the Torta Frita, place a spoonful of dulce de leche onto one half of the fried pastry and top with the other half.
11
Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm.
