Sopaipilla

Sopaipilla is a yummy treat that is a bit like a pillow that you can eat. Imagine you took a big piece of dough and you squished it really flat. Then you cut that flat dough into little pieces that are kind of like squares or diamonds. You put those little pieces into hot, sizzly oil until they puff up like balloons. When they're all crispy and golden, you take them out and put them on a plate.

You can eat sopaipillas in lots of different ways. Some people like to eat them with honey, which is gooey and sweet like syrup. Others like to eat them with savory things, like chili or cheese. Sopaipillas are really popular in New Mexico and other places where people like to eat spicy, flavorful food.

One thing that's really fun about sopaipillas is that when you eat them, the steam from the hot dough comes out and you can feel it in your mouth. It's a little bit like how your mom blows on your soup to cool it down for you. So when you eat a sopaipilla, you might want to take a little bite and then blow on it before you eat the rest so you don't burn your tongue.

Overall, sopaipillas are a delicious treat that lots of people enjoy, especially in the southwestern United States.
