I baked this Vegan Sopapillas for my sister’s summer party last weekend. The pastries puffed up under cinnamon sugar, and my sister liked them.
Easy Vegan Sopapillas Recipe
These sopapillas are fluffy pastries that can be made vegan without sacrificing taste. Frying them results in a golden-brown exterior with a soft, pillowy center. This recipe takes about 30 minutes and serves 4 people.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3/4 cup water
- Oil for frying
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Add the vegetable oil and water, mixing until a dough forms.
- Knead: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth. Cover and let it rest for 15 minutes.
- Roll Out: Divide the dough into small balls and roll each ball out into 1/4-inch thick circles.
- Heat Oil: In a large pot or deep skillet, heat oil over medium heat to about 350°F (175°C).
- Fry Sopapillas: Carefully place the rolled circles into the hot oil, frying until they puff up and turn golden brown, about 1-2 minutes per side.
- Drain and Coat: Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels. While still warm, mix sugar and cinnamon together, then generously coat each sopapilla in the mixture.
- Serve: Enjoy sopapillas warm as a delightful dessert or snack!

I serve the sopapillas warm right after frying. The stay puffy, and I drizzle with honey before serving.
