Add a photoFamous Mexican dessert sprinkled with cinnamon sugar and drizzled with honey butter.
Rolled-out dough is deep fried in oil, and the pockets puff up in the middle.
If you are a beginning cook, exact instructions are stated, so give these a try.
You must roll out the dough and fry it at once, as the dough will not do well refrigerated; however, once the fried sopaipillas have returned to room temp, you can freeze them for later.
Recipe does well cut in half.
Equipment:
skillet
oil in skillet to one inch
thermometer (if you don't have one, it's not necessary)
slotted spoon
paper towel lined plates
Ingredients
- 2 cups AP flour
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- 1 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/4 cup melted butter ( if you use salted butter, cut salt in half)
- 1 cup milk
- Sprinkle:
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
- Drizzle:
- 2 tbs. melted butter
- 1 tbs. honey
Directions
- Combine dough ingredients in a bowl until thoroughly mixed.
- Lightly flour a work surface.
- Knead the dough 2-3 minutes.
- Only add flour if the dough is too tacky/wet.
- The dough should feel silky and smooth.
- Cover the dough and let it sit one hour.
- Knead again a few times, then divide the dough into 1 1/2 inch balls.
- Cover and let rest 10 minutes.
- Using a rolling pin, roll each ball into 1/8-1/4 inch circles. If the circles are not exact, no problem.
- Pour oil in the skillet and heat it to 375 degrees, or put the heat on high, wait a couple of minutes, then take a piece of your dough and drop it in. The oil is ready when the dough sizzles.
- Gently place 2-3 pieces of dough in the oil and begin to ladle or baste hot oil over the tops. This step is crucial to success.
- Cook 1 minute, flip to the other side, baste.
- The sopaipillas will puff up and form empty pockets in the middle.
- When golden brown each side, place on paper towels.
- Sprinkle on cinnamon sugar and serve with honey butter.
