1 small sugar pumpkin (for baking)
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 4 cups flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted

Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until pumpkin is soft and can be pierced with a fork. (The seeds make a great snack, and you can roast them simultaneously wiht the pumpkin. Wash and dry the seeds and toss them in the baking pan with the pumpkin. Check frequently and remove seeds when golden brown, as seeds will roast more quickly. Toss seeds with salt and store in an airtight container.)
- Scrape pumpkin out of shell and press through a food mill or potato ricer. You will need 1 cup of packed pumpkin.

- Roll out dough on floured surface to about 1/2 centimeter thickness. Let dough relax for about 5 minutes, then cut with a 4-inch diameter round cutter. Prick rounds with a fork several times
- Heat several inches of oil in a deep skillet or deep fat fryer to 350 degrees. Fry sopaipillas in batches, turning once, until golden brown. Drain briefly on paper towels, then dip each sopaipilla in the warm syrup.
