Ingredients
- 2 cups flour (+¼ cup for kneading)
- 400 gr pumpkin (or 1 cup pumpkin puree)
- 3 tbsp butter
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- Honey to taste
- Oil to fry
Instructions
-
Boil the pumpkin until fork-tender. Strain and reserve some of the water. Let the pumpkin cool completely and smash until you get a smooth puree.
-
In a big bowl, mix the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, and salt.
-
Slowly add the melted butter and the pumpkin while folding using a spatula. Integrate the dough the best you can and use your hands for a better result.
-
If the dough is too sticky add a bit more of flour. If it is too dry add some of the pumpkin water. Let the dough sit for 30 minutes.
-
On a clean surface sprinkle some flour and knead the dough for a couple of minutes. When the dough is bouncy and is not sticking to the surface, flatten it with the help of a rolling pin.
-
Cut circles with a cookie cutter or a glass. Using a fork, pierce the surface of the sopaipillas.
-
Fry for a couple of minutes until they are golden and crispy. Let them rest over the absorbent paper after frying.
-
Serve with a drizzle of honey.
