Sopapillas are a Spanish treat, made of a simple dough fried in oil and often drizzled with honey or sprinkled with sugar. All it takes is a few basic ingredients to whip together; roll out the dough and cut into rectangles to drop into sizzling oil until golden! I added clementine zest to bring a fresh, wintery taste, then garnished the finished sopapillas with honey, cinnamon, and flaky salt.

Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 clementine, zested
- 2 tablespoons margarine or olive oil (see note)
- 3/4 cup warm water
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and zest. Cut in margarine until no large chunks remain, or mix in oil until incorporated. Pour in water and mix it until a sticky dough forms. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set aside to rest for 20 minutes.
- In a 3 qt pot, heat about 2 inches of canola oil to 375 degrees F. Meanwhile, roll out the dough on a floured surface into a 1/8-inch thick rectangle. Slice into 18-24 rectangles. Carefully drop 2-3 at a time, depending on size of your pot, into the hot oil. Fry for about 20 seconds on one side, until it puffs up, then flip over with a slotted spoon. Repeat until golden on both sides, then transfer to a wire rack or paper towel-lined tray.
Notes
- Once finished with all the dough, drizzle with honey and sprinkle with cinnamon and flaky salt. Best enjoyed immediately, but can be stored in an airtight container for 2 days.
