Sopapillas Recipe

Sopapillas Recipe

New Mexico is a beautiful place and these sopapillas paired with honey are inspired by the ones from the Southwest.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • Canola oil, peanut oil or lard (for frying)

Directions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Next, create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the honey and whole milk.

  2. 2

    I know frying this is a bit of a bummer but I’ll say that with these it’s needed and worth it. In a cast iron skillet (or medium pot), add enough oil so it reaches 3-inches up the sides of the skillet/pot. Heat up your oil to around 300 degrees. (Right before we fry them off, we’ll heat it up even further.)
