Best Sopapilla Recipe. Ever.

February 6th, 2006

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!
