Try making sopapillas in case you are looking for something South American that's easy to make.

Sopapillas are what you can call a “fry bread,” simply because it entails frying the dough. They're a good breakfast choice drizzled with honey and, most of the time, they're served bathing in powdered sugar.

These little suckers are found all over South American countries, and are served in both sweet and savory dishes, said The Latin Kitchen. Are you excited to try sopapillas for yourself? Then try these easy-tasty five sopapilla recipes.

Classic Sopapilla

This is the basic sopapilla recipe courtesy of The Latin Kitchen.

All you need to do is to mix some all-purpose flour, a little baking powder and some salt. Cut in some coconut oil, then add warm water and mix to make a dough.

Let it rest for a while, cut it in pieces, roll into a ball, flatten a bit then fry in preheated coconut oil.

Once cooked, drizzle with honey and some powdered sugar. These are best eaten warm.

Chocolate Almond Sopapillas

All you need is the classic recipe, and some filling made from hazelnut spread, almond butter, a pinch of cayenne and some coconut oil. Once you're done, shout out “Ole!”

Port Apple Stuffed Sopapillas

You can imagine this to be a combination of tasty apple pie and some hearty warm sopapillas.

Prepare some classic sopapillas, then make a filling out of: cored apples and pears, some coconut oil, some sugar and some port.

Once the filling is done and the sopapillas are ready, slice your sopapillas in half, spoon in the apple-pear filling and enjoy!

New Mexican-Style Sopapillas

This recipe shared by A Cozy Kitchen is another take on the classic sopapillas. It's a cross between the South American sopapilla and Native American fry bread, and they're really soft, fluffy and puffy.

The recipe seems more complicated compared to the classic recipe, but it's worth the effort.

Sopapilla Cheesecake Bars

This is Pillsbury's take on the classic sopapilla. Or maybe not. It's an “easy-to-bake bar inspired by a popular Mexican pastry combines flaky crescents and a sweet cream cheese filling.” Go on, try it for yourself.

Don't think of frying or making your own dough though, as Pillsbury's already got that covered. You'll only need to enjoy.
