Instructions
- Whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder until combined.
- Next add in the fat and use your fingers to break so that it is completely incorporated into the flour.
- Make a well and add the whisked egg to it and then slowly start to mix in the flour using your clean hands.
- Add some a 1/3 cup of the milk at a time while mixing the dough together until it’s combined, and all the milk has been added.
- Knead the dough for 5 to 7 minutes on a clean surface and then cover with a towel and let rest for 45 minutes.
- Take a small amount of dough, about a golf ball size, and roll it out until it is about 6” in diameter and a ¼ thick.
- Fry the dough in oil at 350° for 2 minutes per side or until browned and fluffy. Repeat the process until the dough has been used and fried. See additional Chef Notes on frying procedures.
- Serve the sopapilla by dusting it with cinnamon, powdered sugar, and warm honey. See chef notes on other options.
Notes
- Make-Ahead: These are meant to be eaten within minutes of making them.
- How to Store: Cover and keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Be sure that they do not have any cinnamon, sugar, honey, or other sauces on them before storing. These do not freeze all that well, so I do not recommend doing so.
- How to Reheat: Add the desired number of sopapillas to a cookie sheet tray lined with parchment paper and bake at 350° for 4-6 minutes or until hot and crispy. You can also simply heat it in the microwave.
- As soon as you add the dough to the fryer oil immediately start spooning the hot oil on top of the unfried part of the dough to help it puff up and brown.
- Feel free to decorate these sopapillas by serving them with chocolate sauce, caramel, ice cream, or whipped cream.
