In a mixing bowl, combine 4 cups of flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1 tablespoon of salt.

Add 1 tablespoon of coconut butter and the mashed pumpkin to the dry ingredients.

Mix with a fork until combined, adding water gradually until the mixture is well combined.

Knead the dough for about 15 minutes until it no longer sticks to your hands.

Roll out the dough into circles, about the size of a glass or larger if desired.

Heat oil in a deep pan until shimmering.

Carefully place the sopaipillas into the hot oil, frying until they float to the top and turn golden brown.

Remove the sopaipillas from the oil and drain on paper towels.

Serve with a sprinkle of cinnamon and piloncillo.
