Ingredients

The following ingredients have 30 Servings
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoon butter (unsalted or salted, melted)
  • 1½ cups warm water
  • vegetable oil (for frying)

Instruction

  • Mix the ingredients: In the bowl of your mixer add the flour baking powder, salt, butter and water. Mix on medium using the dough hook attachment until the dough is smooth and comes clean from the sides of the bowl. Shape into a ball, cover with a clean damp towel and let the dough rest for 20 minutes.
  • Prepare the dough: Roll out the dough onto a floured work surface until it's about ⅛ to ¼ inch in thickness. Cut into 2 to 3 inch squares.
  • Heat up the oil: Add vegetable oil to a large saucepan, you'll want about 2 inches of oil, and heat it over medium-high heat until it reaches 375°F.
  • Fry the sopapillas: Add a few pieces of dough to the hot oil, do not overcrowd and fry 30 to 60 seconds per side or until golden. Drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining dough.
  • Ready to serve: Serve sprinkled with powdered sugar and dip in honey.
