Sopaipillas (A Chilean Doughnut)

These Chile Sopaipillas are amazing and a true Chilean treasure. They are similar to a doughnut. In Chile they are typically made with pumpkin or squash. I just used pumpkin puree from the can and the results were delicious. These would be wonderful for breakfast too! They also make a savory version that is typically served as bread with a meal and butter or pebre is spread on the top.
