Sopaipillas are a traditional Latin American pastry that's both crispy and puffy. These light, airy pillows of fried dough are often served as a dessert drizzled with honey or sprinkled with cinnamon sugar, but can also be enjoyed as a savory side dish. With their golden-brown exterior and soft interior, sopaipillas offer a delightful texture contrast that's irresistible. This simple recipe brings the flavors of New Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine right to your kitchen.
