Sopaipillas
Chilean fried pumpkin dough rounds enriched with butter and milk.
About Sopaipillas
Sopaipillas are Chilean fried dough rounds eaten throughout the country, especially in cool or rainy weather. This profile follows Chile Travel's pumpkin dough with melted butter and milk and keeps the many sweet and savoury toppings separate.
Pumpkin gives the dough a mellow sweetness and earthy warmth, while butter and milk add gentle dairy richness. Wheat flour provides a neutral toasted base and frying develops a savoury golden crust.
Each sopaipilla is a small flat round with a blistered golden-orange surface and softly puffed centre. The outside is lightly crisp and chewy, while the pumpkin dough within stays tender.
