Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking Powder
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
Wet Ingredients
- 3/4 cup Warm Water
- Honey for drizzling
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Mix well. Gradually add warm water to the dry ingredients, stirring until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.
- Roll Out the Dough: Divide the dough into smaller portions and roll each out to about 1/4 inch thick. Cut into squares or triangles, whichever shape you prefer.
- Heat the Oil: In a deep skillet or fryer, heat the oil to 350°F (175°C). Make sure you have enough oil to allow the sopapillas to float while frying.
- Fry the Sopapillas: Carefully drop the cut dough into the hot oil, frying until golden brown on both sides. This should take about 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- Drizzle with Honey: Once the sopapillas are cool enough to handle, drizzle them generously with honey. You can also dust them with powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar if desired.
Notes
- Don’t Skip the Kneading: Kneading the dough helps develop gluten, giving your sopapillas the perfect texture.
- Watch the Oil Temperature: Keep an eye on the oil temperature to ensure even cooking and avoid soggy pastries.
- Experiment with Shapes: Don’t be afraid to get creative with the shapes of your sopapillas; they can be any size or form you like.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh baking powder and flour can make a noticeable difference in the final product.
- Serve Immediately: For the best taste and texture, serve your sopapillas right after frying.
