Discover the magic of New Mexico through your taste buds with these airy, puffy sopapillas. These are delightfully crisp pastries, perfectly balanced with the sweetness of honey and accented by tangy apricot preserves.
In a large bowl, whisk the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar and salt.
2
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the honey and whole milk.
3
Mix the dough together with your hands or a spoon until it forms a sticky mass.
4
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rest for about 20 minutes.
5
Add canola oil to a cast-iron skillet or medium pot; the oil should reach about 3 inches up the sides.
6
Heat the oil to around 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
7
On a lightly floured surface, roll the rested dough into a thin rectangle, about 1/8-inch thick.
8
Cut the dough into rectangles measuring around 4 inches by 3 inches.
9
Have your additional honey and apricot preserves ready for serving.
10
Line a plate with a few layers of paper towels for draining the fried sopapillas.
11
Reheat the oil to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
12
Fry the sopapillas, two to three at a time, in the hot oil for about a minute, flipping them over halfway through. Aim for a light golden brown color.
13
Drain the fried sopapillas on your prepared plate.
14
To keep sopapillas warm while frying the rest, you can place them in a preheated oven at 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
15
Serve the sopapillas hot, drizzled with honey and a spoonful of apricot preserves on the side.
