  1. Ok Chef Billy! I just made a batch! I’ve tried several recipes and yours is THE WINNER! Oh my goodness,,, they are fantastic! They puffed up beautifully! I cooked exactly how you said in the video. Now I have to figure out how to made 600! Yes 600!

  2. Hilarious. I worked at Panco's in New Orleans. They had the best sopapillas. I never liked honey until I ate them there. you cut open the pastry to make two pockets. Then you put butter and honey. perfect. not on the pastry.

  3. My Mom put an egg in her sopapillas, so fluffy, no one makes them like that. That was the difference between flour tortilla and sopapilla dough. I used margarine one time and they were soft the next day too without warming them up . Yumm

  4. Hi, I'm from New Mexico and I've tried a million sopapilla recipes to find the perfect sopapilla and I've yet to find it. Your sopapillas look like the small fried bread my friend in Laguna Pueblo makes. I call them sopapillas and she calls them fried bread. My sopapillas puff much higher than hers (yours) but both taste amazing. Your photos are bunuelos not sopapillas. I'm going to try your recipe as they look delicious. Thanks..

  5. Casita Linda in El Paso Texas is where I've had my first sopaillas. It was a truly a beautiful experience 😢! As I tried to find them everywhere. Even in mexican rich culture cities I have never found the exactly what I was looking for. I know what I'm looking it's in the old western town of El Paso

  6. I remember that place so well!!
    I craved their food with my first pregnancy. We lived in Farmington, but we went to South County often just to eat there.
    Thanks for bringing back some sweet (literally) memories!!
    I regret never ordering sopapillas from them, though.
    I first became familiar with them a few years later near Pensacola, Florida, where they were served before our meal for free!!

  7. Choco? No, absolutamente NO! Why don't you just pour motor oil on them? The F-L-A-V-O-R of the Sopapilla will be completely overtaken by the mexican invention called Chocolate. Have you had MEXICAN Chocolate? It has Cinnamon and Sugar grainy Sugar but when you put it into boiling milk in Wintertime…. yummmmmm

  8. Casa G! I remember that place. I don’t know if I ever even ate there thought. I don’t even bother ordering ā€œsopapillasā€ at restaurants cause I know they won’t be like this!

  9. You brought back old memories. I worked at Casa Bonita in OKC for a few years. I know I made millions of those things. You done a great job on those. Now I have to make some.

  10. The first time I ever had a sopapilla was in the mid 70's at a place outside Denver called Casa Bonita. They served them as a square. You bit the corner off and poured honey inside. They were amazing. Reminded me of the fried dough my Italian nana used to make on Sunday Mornings. She called them pizza fritte for some reason. Ah, memories.

  11. BuƱuelos but puffy. I've had Bunuelos from Mexico[when fresh it's slightly puffy, though Bunelos are frequently served burnt] and lots of New Mexican Fry Bread…..don't recall ever eating sopapillas. I should try to make them.

  12. Miss El Charro in Northern Az. You didn’t have a meal without this dessert w honey butter. Looked here in S.E. Coast for 25 yrs for them to be listed on a Mexican menu. Nada! Can’t find an authentic beef enchilada recipe either. Tortillas filled w cheese and covered in a mole sauce w tender diced pieces of meat. Sigh. Mouth watering for out West cuisine.
