how long can sopapillas sit before they go bad? Cause i have to makee some for my class on Friday. will they be good just sitting and waiting around for a day?
Sopapillas are not Mexican. Sopapillas originated in New Mexico. Not too many Mexicans make sopapillas but the few who do are known to put honey and powdered sugar. If you want good sopapillas go to New Mexico and eat at a New Mexican restaurant but don't expect any powdered sugar on them.
But... but... they're so tiny! :( The sopapillas I know, from Northern AZ and NM, are MUCH bigger... also, not just for dessert! We have stuffed sopapillas, filled with ground beef, cheese, and green chiles, smothered with more green chiles in true New Mex style. Also, whenever they're served for dessert, they're usually served with honey rather than powdered sugar. (potential mess either way ;) )
A Californian friend of ours remembered them by nicknaming them "sofa pillows."

i absolutly fell in love with your videos. i have made this one before but just lost the recipe.but anyways i just reciently got in contact with my mother and her side of the family after 21 years we had never met before. i made a trip to see them and i have been learning spanish so communication would be easier and i have been trying to find some recipes to make and i was so excited to have stumbled across your videos i wanted to thank you. you have helped me so much.
i love sopapillas they are the best. in albuquerque, nm we really dont eat them as desert. we do eat them with honey, but most likely we use them to scoop up our food, kinda like a tortilla. a super easy recipe is to use "masatrigo" its already prepared flour mixture, add water to it until you get your dough, we make them into little balls then roll them out, cut them and fry them. to make them puffy you dont turn it over, you use a spoon and pick up some oil and put it on top to get the puff
Thanks for the recipe and video. I will try them.... You seem tall... I felt sorry for you having to lean over the counter.... I understand real well.... Hurts my back....
Fantastic! Sopapillas (also "sopaipillas") are served as appetizers throughout New Mexico. I suspect they may rise to be puffier in albuquerque's 5,000 foot altitude.
Another serving suggestion is to slice them along one side, and put some soft butter and honey inside them.
A promising sopapilla recipe - FINALLY!! I used to LOVE eating sopapillas when I lived in Texas, and can't find a decent basket of 'em in local restaurants since moving to Memphis 3 years ago! Thanks for posting this recipe - I'll try my hand at making them this week!!

I've tried them with honey, I wonder if they would taste just as good with sugar and cinnamon, just like the bunuelos

These are really good with fruit inside--then you don't need the honey! :-)

They're good with honey butter too. If cooked right they are good cold but they have to be puffy.
