This is a traditional Chilean snack or appetizer made with tender squash that's added to the dough. It's eaten during wintertime, especially when it rains. It is typical to arrive home after walking through the rainy streets of Santiago and sit down to have a cup of tea and eat a couple of sopaipillas.
