Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the butter and mix until crumbly. Gradually add warm water and honey, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead for about 2-3 minutes until smooth.

  2. 2

    Roll and Cut the Dough

    Divide the dough into small balls (about golf ball size). Roll each ball into a thin circle on a floured surface.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep skillet or fryer, heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Ensure there is enough oil to fully submerge the sopapillas.

  4. 4

    Fry the Sopapillas

    Carefully place a few rolled dough circles into the hot oil. Fry until they puff up and turn golden brown, about 1-2 minutes on each side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Drizzle the fried sopapillas with melted butter and honey, then sprinkle with cinnamon. Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream on top.
