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!

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my sopaipillas turned out really greasy. I think I might have added too much oil.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my sopaipillas didn't turn out as well as I hoped. They were a little bit dry and the filling was bland.

These sopaipillas were a little bit too oily for my taste, but the flavor was still good.
