Sopapillas (UPDATED, FOUND my camera!!! :))

These are soooooo good!!!!!!!!! I let my kids eat 2 and then after they went to bed, my hubs and I ate a few more! He really liked them cold too, it almost tasted like a cinnamon sugar covered pretzel! ;)

These are really easy too! I took pictures, but I can NOT find my camera! But I didn't want to wait any longer to post this recipe! I've had too many people ask for the recipe since I posted the one picture on Facebook! ;)


Roll part of your dough out


Cut into squares with pizza cutter, then into triangles.. As you can see, these are by far NOT perfect! ;)


Drop into the frying pan (I used coconut oil in my cast iron skillet!)


Here they are out of the frying pan!


Dump into cinnamon and sugar! Use a spoon to cover them completely!


Here they are!


Sooooo good!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) Betcha just can't eat one! ;)




Here's a picture of the finished product, the only one I have! :)





Sopapillas

1 ¾ cup plain flour
1 Tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
2/3 cup milk
Hot vegetable oil for frying
1 cup sugar
1 Tablespoon cinnamon
Honey – optional
Mix dry ingredients together in a medium sized bowl. Add the milk and knead for 1 minute on floured surface. Let dough set for one hour. Roll dough into large rectangle 1/8” thickness. Use a pizza cutter to cut 2” wide strips of dough, then cut strips into 2” squares, then cut squares diagonally in half.
Mix sugar and cinnamon in a shallow baking dish and set aside.
Heat 4 cups vegetable oil in deep fryer. When oil reaches 375 degrees, drop dough triangles into hot oil. They should rise to the surface, and puff, then brown on the bottom very quickly. Use tongs to quickly turn sopapillas over. When dough is golden brown on both sides, remove from oil carefully, and place on paper towels. While sopapillas are still very warm, put them in the cinnamon and sugar mixture and spoon mixture over sopapillas to thoroughly coat them.


Again, SUPER easy to make! And so very good!! :D
