Scratch Sopapillas with Honey & Cinnamon Sugar
A freshly made sopapilla sprinkled with cinnamon sugar and drizzled with honey is heaven on a plate. Pantry ingredients make up this quick and easy dessert. This version is authentic and tested in my kitchen—made over and over again due to popular demand. The trick is to eat these without letting the honey drizzle down your wrist. We love it and I know you will, too. Cheers!
