Hey foodies! Do sopapillas have yeast in the recipe? I'm thinking of making some, but I'm not sure if I need yeast. Would love some advice from those who know. Thanks a bunch!

Hey there! Sopapillas typically don’t contain yeast. They’re usually made with baking powder for that fluffy texture. So, you can enjoy them without worrying about yeast! Happy cooking!

Nope, sopapillas are made with a simple dough of flour, water, and shortening, no yeast needed! They get their fluffy texture from deep-frying.
