Sopapillas & buñuelos

Sopapillas are pieces of fried dough that puff as they cook. They are particularly associated with New Mexican and Southwestern cooking and are commonly served with honey. Buñuelos are fried pastries found throughout Latin America in many forms. Mexican buñuelos are often thin and crisp, dusted with sugar or served with piloncillo syrup, especially around Christmas and New Year. Fried ice cream, despite its frequent appearance on Mexican-American restaurant menus, belongs primarily to the restaurant traditions that developed in the United States rather than to a single traditional Mexican dessert lineage.
