Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
- 0.75 cup warm water
- 1 teaspoon liquid stevia
- 2 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add the unsweetened almond milk, warm water, and liquid stevia to the dry ingredients. Mix until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes or until it's smooth and elastic.
Cover the dough with a clean cloth and allow it to rest for about 20 minutes.
After resting, roll the dough out to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use a sharp knife to cut the rolled dough into 3-inch squares or any preferred shape.
In a large, heavy skillet, heat vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C).
Carefully place a few dough squares in the hot oil. Fry the sopapillas until they are golden brown on both sides, which should take about 1 to 2 minutes per side.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the sopapillas from the oil and drain them on paper towels.
Serve the sopapillas warm, plain, or with a side of sugar-free syrup for dipping.
