Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • Honey (for drizzling)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your workspace: Gather ingredients and tools including a mixing bowl, rolling pin, and frying pan.
  2. Combine dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Add wet ingredients: Pour melted butter and milk into the dry mixture; stir until combined into a soft dough.
  4. Knead the dough: Turn onto a floured surface and knead gently for 1-2 minutes until smooth.
  5. Roll out dough: Roll to about ¼-inch thickness on a floured surface.
  6. Cut into shapes: Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut squares or triangles.
  7. Fry until golden brown: Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat; fry each piece until puffed and golden brown—about 1-2 minutes per side.
  8. Serve hot with honey drizzled on top or dusted with powdered sugar!

Nutrition

Keywords: Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to achieve optimal crispiness. For added flavor, mix cinnamon sugar into the dough or stuff the sopapillas with chocolate or fruit preserves before frying. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature; reheat at 350°F for about 5 minutes.
