Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Sopapilla:

    In a small saucepan, heat the milk and sugar over low heat until the sugar has dissolved and the milk is warm to the touch.
  2. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, add the flour, lard, baking powder, and salt. Mix for 1 minute. While mixing on medium speed, pour in the warm milk mixture. Mix until the dough forms a ball. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

  3. Pour 5 cm of oil into a cauldron and heat to 190°C. Line the baking sheet with paper towels.
  4. Topping:

    In a medium bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon; set aside. Flour a work surface and roll the dough into a 6x12-inch rectangle, about 0.3 cm thick. Cut the dough into 2-inch squares and fry in batches of 6 until golden brown, about 1.5 minutes per side.
  5. Using a slotted spoon, remove the hot sopapillas from the oil and transfer them to a baking sheet lined with paper towels. Sprinkle the sopapillas with cinnamon sugar and toss to coat. Transfer to a serving platter and drizzle with honey. Serve warm.
