Sopapillas (Spanish) Sopaipilla) is a popular delicacy in Latin American countries, where they are sold on every corner. Sopapillas are traditionally made from flour, baking powder or yeast, fat, and a small amount of sugar. The dough is cut into square, triangular, or round shapes and fried in a generous amount of vegetable oil. These donuts are most often served with sweet toppings such as syrup, ice cream, or cream. However, depending on the region, they can be served instead of bread with hot dishes or various sauces.
