SOPAIPILLAS: How to Make New Mexico Style Sopaipillas that are Soft, Puffy, & Delicious
Whether you call them Sopaipillas or Sopapillas, these light and puffy little pillows of fried dough are delicious. I grew up in Southern New Mexico, where we call these wonderful treats Sopaipillas (with the ai in the spelling). And we serve them hot with honey, or we dust them with powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar. If sweets aren't your thing, you can also fill them with meat, refried beans, and cheese for a more savory option. Read on for the easy recipe.
Sopaipillas
2 cups sifted flour
3/4 tsp. salt
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. sugar
1 Tbsp. fat (lard, shortening, or vegetable oil)
approx. 3/4 cup warm water or milk
enough oil for deep frying
Combine dry ingredients in mixing bowl. Cut in fat until mixture is crumbly. Add in warm water or milk a little at a time and knead until you have a soft dough. (You may not need all the liquid.) Form into smaller dough balls, cover with dish towel, and let rest 20 minutes.
Pour enough oil into saucepan to where it's 2 inches deep, and heat over medium-high. Once oil is hot, lightly flour your surface, and roll out individual dough balls like a tortilla. Each dough ball should be about 1/8 thick when done. With a small knife, cut into fourths and fry individual pieces in in hot oil. Flip them over to ensure both sides are golden brown. Remove and drain excess oil.
Serve hot with honey, powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar, and enjoy!

INGREDIENTS:
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour, NOT packed!!
2 teaspoons of baking powder
1 teaspoons of salt
2 tablespoons cooking oil
1 cup of hot water
2 inches of vegetable oil in a pan to fry
Toppings: honey, powder sugar
▶️combine flour, salt, baking powder and whisk together.
▶️ add the vegetable oil and incorporate until crumbly.
▶️add the hot water until a dough forms.
▶️ knead dough by hand OR the dough hook in a mixer for about 5-10 minutes, dough becomes softened and pliable.
▶️cut dough in 4 equal parts and round into a ball. Cover dough balls in a bowl with a dish towel and leave it sit for 20 minutes.
▶️ roll each dough ball into 1/8 inch thickness, too thick of dough and the sopapillas won’t puff up⚠️and cut the dough into equal sections with a knife or a pizza cutter.
▶️ in a large pan add about 2 inches of oil for frying the Sopapillas over medium heat. Heat oil until 375 degrees. ⚠️It’s very important to have the oil hot enough or they won’t puff!. I only fry a couple of sopapillas at a time and until golden brown on each side.
▶️ let the sopapillas cool and choose whatever toppings you desire!
▶️drizzle with honey or powder sugar! And enjoy ????!

How to Make Traditional Hand Measured Survival Fried Bread Sopapilla 4 Ingredient for Two People
Wash hands well with soap and water.
3 handfuls of flour
a little salt
small palm of baking soda
warm water
Mix well with hands, once dough doesn't stick to hands place back in bowl and cover with a towel for 15 to 30 minutes and let rest.
Depending on if you want a fluffy sopapilla roll it out thin,
if you prefer a more hearty fried bread leave the dough thicker!
Fry in slightly smoking hot oil of your choice.
Don't leave the stove, cooks quickly.
Make either a Navajo Taco or Stuffed Sopapilla depending on how thin the dough is. Healthy lunch or dinner is easily prepared by smothering with red or green chile sauce and topped with shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, cut green onions, shredded colby jack cheese and sour cream.
Best served warm with honey or powdered sugar as a desert.
