Fluffy Cinnamon-Sugar Sopaipillas

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

In a separate bowl, mix the warm water, milk, and vegetable oil.

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring to form a sticky dough. Knead the dough for about 1 minute on a lightly floured surface until it's no longer sticky.

Cover the dough with a damp towel and let it rest for 15 minutes.

Divide the dough into 3 equally-sized balls. Cover them with a towel and let rest for 30 minutes.

In a deep frying pan, add 4 cups of peanut oil and heat to 380-385°F.

While the oil is heating, roll each dough ball into an 8-inch round on a floured surface. Cut each round into 4 wedges.

In a shallow dish, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon.

Carefully drop the dough wedges, one at a time, into the hot oil. Cook, turning once, for about 2 minutes or until golden brown.

Remove the cooked sopaipillas using a slotted spoon and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

When the sopaipillas are cool enough to handle, roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.

Serve the sopaipillas warm, drizzled with honey if desired.
