Are sopapillas and scones the same thing?

Hi everyone! Are sopapillas and scones the same thing? They both look pretty similar to me, but maybe there's a big difference. Anyone know for sure? Thanks for your help!

Hey! Great question! Sopapillas and scones do look a bit similar, but they’re actually quite different. Sopapillas are typically light, puffy, and fried, often served with honey or powdered sugar . Scones, on the other hand, are baked, usually more crumbly, and can be sweet or savory ️. Hope that helps clear things up!

Sopapillas and scones are both fried dough, but sopapillas are typically larger and fluffier, while scones are smaller and have a more crumbly texture.
