Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Warm water
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- optional Honey or powdered sugar (for serving)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Add the unsalted butter to the dry ingredients, using your fingers or a pastry cutter to incorporate it until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Slowly pour in the warm water, mixing with a wooden spoon or your hands until the dough comes together. It should be soft but not sticky.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
Using a rolling pin, flatten each ball into a thin disk, about 1/8 inch thick.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium heat until it reaches 375°F (190°C). To test if the oil is ready, drop a small piece of dough in; it should sizzle and float to the surface immediately.
Carefully fry the sopaipilla disks in batches, flipping once, for 1 to 2 minutes on each side or until golden and puffed.
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve warm drizzled with honey or dusted with powdered sugar for a delightful treat.
