Sopapilla Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

    In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt, and vegetable oil. Gradually add the warm water while mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until smooth.

  2. 2

    Rest the Dough

    Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Roll Out the Dough

    After resting, roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thickness. Cut into 2-inch squares or triangles.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot (about 375°F or 190°C).

  5. 5

    Fry the Sopapillas

    Carefully drop the cut dough pieces into the hot oil, frying a few at a time. Fry until they puff up and turn golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the sopapillas warm, drizzled with honey on top or on the side for dipping.
