Best Sopapilla Recipe. Ever.

  • 1/4 c. lukewarm water
  • 1 pkg. yeast
  • 1 1/2 c. lukewarm milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 c. honey or sugar
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 5 c. flour

Dissolve yeast in water, add milk, mix in egg, honey or sugar, salt, and flour. Knead. Let rise until double – 1/2 hour. Punch down and place in refrigerator until ready to use. When ready to use – roll dough out very thin – cut into triangle shapes and deep fat fry. Be sure to immerse dough into oil – this makes it puff up. Sprinkle with cinnamon/sugar mixture.

OR top with ice cream, chocolate sauce, etc.

    thank you, thank you, thank you!! I had a recipe (with baking powder, lard plus all your ingredients except the egg) and it would not puff up when you cooked it, though the flavor was right. I always throught the baking powder and lard were the problem but until now couldn’t find another recipe that wasn’t just flat bread.

    This truly is the best recipe ever! :D
