The sopaipilla is a traditional fried dough enjoyed in several Latin American countries, and this pumpkin version adds a sweet touch and a softer, moister texture. Originally from Chile, where they are especially consumed in winter, this recipe is perfect for a snack or picnic, as they are easy to transport and can be paired with honey, pebre, or even goat cheese. The dough, made with flour, yellow pumpkin, yeast, butter, and a hint of sugar, is fried in plenty of oil until golden and crispy on the outside.
The preparation is simple and suitable for cooks of all levels. You just need to mix the ingredients, let the dough rest, cut it into your preferred shape, and fry it. The result is fluffy, slightly sweet sopaipillas, ideal for sharing. This recipe is an excellent choice for those seeking a traditional bite with a nutritious twist, as pumpkin adds vitamins and an attractive orange color.
You can customize them with your favorite sauces or serve them with a drizzle of honey for a perfect contrast.

In a bowl we place the flour, butter, yeast, salt, sugar and mix, now add the ground pumpkin and mix. If it is a little dry, we add the water until we form the soft dough and let it rest for 20 minutes.
Now we knead and cut as we want. In a frying pan we add enough oil so that they float when fried. It's quick to go back and forth whenever they are golden and drain on a paper towel.
And eat with whatever they want.
