Puffed pillows of sweet dough rolled in sugar and cinnamon. Presented with strawberry topping, whipped cream and honey.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Add the melted butter and milk, mixing until a soft dough forms.

Make the Dough

Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead gently for about 1-2 minutes. Roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thick and cut into squares or triangles.

Knead and Roll

In a deep skillet or fryer, heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry the dough pieces until they puff up and are golden brown, about 1-2 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Fry the Sopapillas

In a small bowl, mix together sugar and cinnamon. While the sopapillas are still warm, roll them in the sugar mixture to coat.

Sugar Coating

Serve the sopapillas warm with strawberry topping, whipped cream, and a drizzle of honey.
