Homemade Sopapilla Recipe

water (110 degrees F.)

active dry yeast

sugar

all-purpose Gold Medal Flour

salt

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

unsalted butter (softened)

honey

Place oil in large dutch oven over medium heat with a thermometer attached to the side of the pot. Heat until at least 350 degrees but under 375 degrees F.

Place warm water, yeast and sugar into stand mixer bowl with a dough hook attached. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until yeast has grown.

Add flour, salt and olive oil to the stand mixer, beating on medium speed. Mix until dough is cleaning sides of bowl, about 2-3 minutes. With very floured hands, remove dough from bowl and form into a ball on top of parchment paper.

Pinch off about 1/4 cup pieces of dough forming into 3 inch rounds. Does not have to be perfect. Carefully drop pieces of dough into hot oil, in batches. No more than about 3 or 4 at a time. Fry until golden and puffed on each side. Remove from hot oil and place onto parchment paper. Immediately spread butter and honey over each piece. Sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired.

This restaurant-style sopapilla recipe is easy to make at home with pantry ingredients. This is an easy and delicious fried dessert.

Sopapilla Recipe

Flour

Tbsp Sugar

tsp Baking Powder

Salt

Tbsp Vegetable Shortening

Water

Honey (for topping)

In a large bowl mix together the flour, salt and baking powder.  Then add in the shortening and use your hands to mix the shortening into the flour mixture.

Then gradually pour the warm water into the bowl and work the dough with your hands until all the water has been added.

Cover the dough and let the dough rest for 20-30 minutes.

While the dough is resting, heat 3 inches of oil in a deep pot to approximately 350 degrees F.

Then roll the dough out into approximately 1/4 inch thick on a lightly floured surface.  Then cut the dough into approximately 3 inch squares. I find that it’s easiest to use a pizza cutter to cut the dough into smaller pieces.

Then place the squares into the oil (3-5 at a time depending on the size of your pot).  Fry for 1-2 minutes per side (use tongs to flip the dough) until they are a light golden brown.

After the cook time, move the sopapillas to a plate covered in a paper towel.

Repeat the process with all the remaining dough.

Serve warm drizzled with honey and enjoy!

Delicious homemade Sopapillas are fluffy, lightly crispy, and absolutely delicious dusted with powdered sugar and a drizzle of honey. They are ready in just 30 minutes and you won&#039;t believe how easy they are to make.

Sopapillas

all-purpose flour

baking powder

vegetable shortening

+ 1 tablespoon warm water

sugar and honey (,

Make Dough: Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Add the shortening and cut it in with forks or a pastry blender. Gradually stir in water until the mixture comes together. Knead the dough in the bowl for a few minutes until smooth.

Rest: Cover the bowl tightly and allow the dough to rest for 20 minutes.

Heat Oil: Meanwhile, add about 1-2 inches of oil to a medium saucepan over medium heat.

Roll dough into a square about 1/8-inch thick. Cut three strips vertically and horizontally to make 9 pieces.

Fry: Once the oil is hot, use tongs to lay a square of dough very carefully into the hot oil. It will sink to the bottom and then begin to float to the top of the oil. Once it floats to the top, lightly spoon hot oil over the top of it as it cooks, which will help it to pillow-up. Cook for about 30 seconds and then flip to the other side and cook for an additional 30 seconds. Remove to a paper towel lined plate.

Serve dusted with powdered sugar and a drizzle of honey, or sprinkled with cinnamon sugar.

Store leftover sopapillas at room temperature for 1-2 days.
