Making Sopaipillas | A Typical Chilean Street Food at Home

Boil the pumpkin for about 20 minutes until soft and cool it down.

Measure 500 grams of flour and place it in a bowl.

Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and add it to the flour.

Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the flour.

Add the boiled pumpkin into the flour mixture.

Pour in 1/2 cup of water gradually to form the dough.

Knead the dough until it reaches the right consistency, adding more flour if it becomes too sticky.

Roll out the dough and use a cup to cut out circles.

Make a small slit in the middle of each circle.

Heat oil in a pan and fry the circles until golden brown, then remove and drain on paper towels.
