Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a large bowl, whisk 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tbsp baking powder, and 1/2 tsp salt until combined. Cut in 4 tbsp chilled, cubed unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Step 2: Stir in 3/4 cup whole milk and 2 tbsp vegetable oil until a soft dough forms. Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead gently 5-6 times until smooth.
  3. Step 3: Roll dough out to about 1/4-inch thickness and cut into 3-inch squares. Place squares on a parchment-lined baking sheet spaced about 1 inch apart.
  4. Step 4: Bake for 12-15 minutes until puffed and golden brown on top. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
  5. Step 5: In a small bowl, mix 1/2 cup honey with 1 tbsp ground cinnamon. Drizzle warm sopapillas generously with cinnamon honey drizzle. Dust with powdered sugar if desired before serving warm.
