Very good recipe. Puffed up nicely. I tossed them in a cinnamon and sugar mixture. I don't think they would be very good cold. No problem--there weren't any left! They made a nice dessert for my authentic Mexican meal.

They were good. I've had them before at restaurants. Mine didn't puff really good, but they were still good. I will be making these again! So maybe next time they will puff. I serve them with powdered sugar on them and a little bowl of warmed chocolate. The way that I have always had them out to dinner.

basic ....

Very delicious and plenty of them. I read some of the reviews regarding an issue with them coming out flat. The first few I made were flat but I added more oil and that seemed to do the trick.

I used shortening for frying and increased the temperature to 400 degrees. Only when they were made did we realize that we barely had any honey, so we had to get creative. We tried caramel, chocolate, and butterscotch ice cream sauces, as well as several jams and jellies. My favorite was the butterscotch sauce, but of course nothing beats good old fashioned honey. :)

yummy! these were so much fun! i must admit they are all different shapes but they tastes great.. i did them with cinnamon & sugar...we put the finishing touches with honey!

Wow! These are delicious. I made them for a party and they were a huge hit. I put a dollop of whipped cream and and strawberries on top and around the tray of sopapillas - the display was beautiful and no one could stop eating the sopapillas.

Excellent. I am a single male who likes to cook and found this recipe fun to do. I doubled the recipe so I could play a little. I ended up using about one and a quarter cups of water and increasing my oil temp to four hundred degrees. They baked faster and soaked up less oil. They puffed up just fine for me. I'm going to enjoy this web site.

Update: I think the secret is in how hot the oil is. I have been trying and trying to get puffy sopapillas. I finally settled on heating the oil about 10 min. before frying them. They puff a little bit now, so I guess that is as good as it gets! Original review: My sopapillas always turn out flat and don't puff. Anyone have any suggestions? I am still looking for that amazing sopapilla recipe that makes PUFFS.

Delicious, easy to make sopapillas. I tried these for the first time in New Mexico, and I loved them. These tasted almost (if not exactly) like the ones I had in NW! I found that the key to making these is not frying them for too long. This ensures that the inside is soft and a little doughy, while the outside is crispy. Don't leave them in the oil until they are golden-brown, because that's just a little too long. Great recipe! Thanks!

Great recipe! We topped ours with taco meat, lettuce, salsa, cheese and guacamole. For dessert, we drizzled caramel sauce, sugar, and cinnamon . This is definitely gonna be a repeat at this house!

This was great. Another reason to eat at home.I spread mine with a light coat of honey,topped it with whip cream and sprinkled cinnamon. Delicioso!Gracias!

I've been looking for a recipe that is easy to make and puffs up nicely. I found it!

These were tasty...like elephant ears. If you cut the rolled dough into triangles as instructed they turn out quite small and makes the process more time-consuming, so I sliced them in half instead. Also these need to be eaten right away. I made them for a party and made the mistake of storing them in an air-tight container. By the time they were served they had flattened and lost their crispiness. They initially had bubbled up nicely (make sure your oil is very hot.) But the samples my husband got right out of the pan were a hit! I'll make again when I have the time.

These were the best sopapillas I have ever eaten! I rolled out my first one too thin (what can I say...I'm an over-achiever LOL) but then I added two balls together, rolled them out to about 1/8", cut them into thirds & turned them over continously while frying. They had HUGE air pockets in them...perfect for filling w/ honey mixed w/ just a bit of real maple syrup. FANTASTIC! I froze some of the balls on a cookie sheet & then put them in a freezer bag to pull out when wanted. Thanks Xenia!

Delicious! I put confectioners' sugar, cinnamon, and honey on top. Mmm Mmm...

The taste was pretty good. However, they didn't puff up the way I wanted them to. Next time I will roll them pretty thin to see how they will turn out. Thanks for the recipe...pretty EZ! I have tried the recipe again and rolling the dough thin and flipping several times as soon as you drop them in the oil does the trick. They puff up beautifully. I only fried two at a time so that I could continuously flip them.
