Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cups Warm water
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
- 4 Large eggs
- 0.25 cups Milk
- 0.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cups Honey
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Cut in the unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add warm water, mixing until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 2-3 minutes until smooth.
Cover the dough with a clean towel and let it rest for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Set aside.
In a large, deep skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat to 375°F (190°C).
Roll out the rested dough on a floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness. Cut into 4-inch squares or triangles.
Carefully drop the dough pieces into the hot oil, frying for 1-2 minutes per side until puffed and golden. Remove and drain on paper towels.
In a non-stick skillet, cook the egg mixture over medium heat, stirring gently, until set and creamy. Remove from heat.
To assemble, place a fried sopapilla on a plate. Top with a portion of scrambled eggs and sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
Drizzle honey over the sopapillas and eggs. Sprinkle with a pinch of ground cinnamon for extra flavor.
Dust lightly with powdered sugar for a finishing touch. Serve immediately and enjoy!
