A sopapilla is a traditional deep-fried pastry that originates from Spanish and Latin American cuisine, particularly popular in regions like Mexico and the Southwestern United States. Made from simple ingredients such as flour, baking powder, salt, and water or milk, the dough is rolled out, cut into squares or triangles, and fried until it puffs up into a light, airy pillow. Sopapillas are often enjoyed as a dessert or snack, typically drizzled with honey, sprinkled with powdered sugar, or accompanied by sweet cinnamon flavors. While they provide a satisfying treat, their deep-fried preparation means they are high in calories and fats. For a healthier version, some bakers opt for brushing them lightly with oil and baking instead. Sopapillas can also be used in savory recipes, stuffed with meats or beans, offering versatility but still best consumed in moderation.
