THIS is how Sopapillas are Supposed to Be Made
This delicious easy-to-make homemade sopapilla recipe is fried to perfection and topped off with a dusting of sugar, cinnamon, and warm honey. I know these will quickly become your new favorite go-to dessert once you try them.
A sopapilla, traditionally spelled sopaipilla, is a crisp, puffy, deep-fried pastry that resembles an air-filled pillow. It is said that the sopapilla originated in Albuquerque, New Mexico more than 200 years ago. It is commonly served with warm honey and syrup that has been flavored with anise or cinnamon. In some countries, they are served as savory side-dish like beans.
While my recipe steers a little bit from the original, I believe with a few ingredients that have been swapped out and added, they make the softest most tender, and fluffy sopapillas out there.
