In a medium bowl, mix together flour, baking powder and salt. Ad melted butter and water then mix the dough until it is smooth.
Return dough to the bowl and cover with a towel for 20 minutes.
Turn dough out onto a clean surface and use a rolling pin (or sturdy cup) to roll into 1/4" thickness. Use a knife or pizza roller to cut into 3" squares.
Heat 4" of oil in a sturdy pot over medium-high heat, until temperature reaches 375 degrees. Add sopapillas, one at a time, and fry until puffy and golden brown, about 15 seconds per side.
Remove from pot and transfer to a paper-towel lined bowl.
