Sopapillas And Honey Recipe

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.
