Easy Baked Sopapillas are light on the inside and crisp on the outside! Rolled in melted vanilla butter and cinnamon sugar these sopapillas are fun and mouthwatering!
We go out for Mexican food at least once a week and I think that I always look forward to the sopapillas at the end of the meal the most! They’re just a little crispy on the outside and soft and airy in the center, and who can resist a good drizzle of honey? Cinnamon sugar desserts are a fave of mine and if you’ve made my super popular Donut Muffins, they’re probably a favorite of yours too. I think you guys are going to be super pleased with my homemade version of this dessert. It takes only a handful of ingredients that you probably already have….and if not, please run to the store and get yourself some puff pastry right now!
How to Make Easy Baked Sopapillas:
- First, grab your puff pastry out of the freezer. Thaw it out according to package directions. This basically consists of removing it from the package and paper wrapping then thawing on the counter for about 20 minutes.
- Preheat your oven and lay the thawed pastry out on your cutting board that you’ve sprinkled with a bit of flour.
- Use a knife or a pizza cutter to slice the puff pastry into 9 pieces.
- Lay the pastry squares out in a single layer on a baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper or a silpat.
- Bake in your preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until lightly golden. Keep an eye on them at 15 minutes, you don’t want the bottom to burn!
- While the pastry is baking, melt your butter in a medium bowl and combine the cinnamon sugar in a second bowl.
- Remove the cooked puff pastry squares from the oven and let them cool for a minute or two, until you can handle them. Dip them in the melted butter, then roll in cinnamon/sugar. Drizzle with honey if desired!
Enjoy! If you try these out and love them, please leave a comment below. I love hearing from you guys!

Hi! I want to make these for church group tonight. Do you know any way I can serve them about 30 minutes after they were in the oven and transported and have them be as delicious as serving immediately? 🙂
PURE YUM! So simple and so delicious. Thank you for sharing it!
I made them for “Christmas cookie decorating” night and the grand kids LOVED them and so did my kids. This will be a regular for our family get togethers.
Looks great. What did you use for the dipping?
These were so easy to make, and so delicious! My boys loved them! I served them with homemade cream cheese whipped cream.
WOW this recipe was truly amazing and simple thanks a bunch
Thanks for the simple and delicious recipe, the desserts came out great everytime! I brought them to 2 dinner parties, and they were a big hit.
I’m practically drooling! I can’t wait to try these. Any chance I can get the recipe for the cream mixture you had on the side?
