Step 3:

Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the sopapillas one at a time, turning once, until they puff up and turn golden brown, about 1-2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

While frying the sopapillas, keep them warm in a low-temperature oven (about 200°F or 95°C) until ready to serve.
