Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup water about 95 F, warm
  • 1/4 cup milk room temperature
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vegetable oil
  • peanut oil
  • cinnamon sugar
  • honey

Instructions

  1. Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, warm water, milk, and vegetable oil together to form a sticky dough.
  2. Knead for about 1 minute, or until no longer sticky, on a lightly floured surface.
  3. Cover with a damp towel and let rest 15 minutes.
  4. Divide the dough into 3 balls. Cover with a towel and let rest 30 minutes.
  5. Pour 2 inches peanut oil and heat to 380-385 F.²
  6. Meanwhile, roll each ball into an 8-inch round on a floured surface.
  7. Cut each round into 4 wedges, and drop into hot oil one at a time.
  8. Cook, turning once, for about 2 minutes, or until golden brown.
  9. Remove to paper towel lined plate.
  10. When cool enough to handle, roll warm sopaipillas in cinnamon sugar. 
  11. Serve with drizzled with honey, if desired.

Notes

  • Anything from skim to whole milk will work.
  • I heat the oil over medium until it reaches 350F. Once it reaches 350F, I turn the heat to low until it reaches 380F.
  • Nutrition value is for the unfried dough.
