My Nana always use to make these but this is a simpler version without having to knead the masa. Thank you to my sister in law for showing me this neat trick. They taste just like Nana's and take a quarter of the time to make.

Steps

20 mins

1

Heat oil over medium heat in medium sized pot. (2 cup is a rough estimate I don't measure anything when I cook)*****eyeball it*****
2

Cut up your tortillas into smaller portions. You can cut them as big or as little as you want. They don't have to be even either. I use all ten tortillas that come in the packet. Use as many as youd like.
3

In a bowl mix sugar and cinnamon together set aside. Ready a plate lined with paper towels so you can drain the excess oil off the sopaipillas as you take them out.
4

Grab a handful of tortillas and slowly drop one by one into the oil careful not to overlap. They will puff up very quickly. When the edges start getting golden brown take out and drop on your plate. They take about a minute maybe a minute and thirty seconds. They're real fast.
5

Once on a plate sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon mixture. Repeat for remaining tortillas. When all are done you can place then in a container and cinnamon if you have any remaining mixture throw that on top. Place the lid on your container and shake gently to disperse mixture evenly. You can serve them with honey if you like. You'll be surprised how fast they'll disappear!
