About Sopaipilla

Sopaipilla is a traditional fried pastry with origins in Spanish and Latin American cuisine, particularly popular in regions like New Mexico, Chile, and Argentina. Made from simple ingredients such as flour, water, baking powder, shortening, and salt, the dough is rolled out and fried until golden and puffy. Sopaipillas can be served sweet or savory—drizzled with honey or paired with soups and stews. While they are a delicious treat, their nutritional profile depends on preparation. High in carbs and calories due to the frying process, they should be consumed in moderation. For a slightly healthier variation, some recipes bake instead of fry the dough. While not nutrient-dense, they offer small amounts of iron or folate from enriched flour. Best enjoyed occasionally as part of a balanced diet, sopaipillas showcase the comforting flavors of their cultural roots.
