Preparation

Of Mexican and Indian origin, Sopaipillas are presented as the very first course in New Mexican restaurants that feature traditional Spanish or Mexican food.
When the small pieces of dough are cooked in hot oil, they puff out and form bread with a crisp crust and hollow center.
They are served hot, coated with honey or rolled in cinnamon sugar.
