Step-by-Step Guide: Sopapillas Recipe with Jubes Nata de Coconut

Step 1: Preparing the Sopapilla Dough

Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Cut in the shortening until crumbly. Add warm water gradually and mix into a soft dough. Knead briefly until smooth, then cover and let it rest for 20 minutes.

Step 2: Rolling and Cutting the Dough

Lightly flour your surface and roll the dough thin (about 1/8–1/4 inch). Cut into small squares or rectangles, keeping the pieces even for consistent cooking.

Step 3: Frying Sopapillas for Light and Crispy Results

Heat oil to about 375°F. Fry a few pieces at a time until they puff and turn golden, about 30–60 seconds per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Step 4: Topping with Honey, Sugar, and Jubes Nata de Coco Cubes

Drizzle with honey or sprinkle with sugar. Top with Jubes nata de coco cubes for a chewy, sweet finish.

Here’s how to assemble your perfect sopapilla:

• Start with a warm, freshly fried sopapilla.
• Drizzle with honey or sprinkle with your sugar of choice.
