Sopaipillas (Mexican Dessert) image

If you have never had sopaipillas, stop now and make this simple dessert. Every culture has some type of fried dough recipe and this is the Latin version. The fried dough puffs up nice and fluffy. Once fried, they're coated in a cinnamon sugar mixture and drizzled with honey. So simple and delicious!

These are the best sopaipillas I've ever had. They're light and fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside.

I've made sopaipillas before, but this recipe is by far the best. The dough was easy to work with and the sopaipillas turned out perfectly golden brown.

These sopaipillas were a hit with my family! They were so light and fluffy, and the honey butter sauce was the perfect finishing touch.
