1
In a large bowl, whisk the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar and salt.
2
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the honey and whole milk.
3
Mix the dough together with your hands or a spoon until it forms a sticky mass.
4
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rest for about 20 minutes.
5
Add canola oil to a cast-iron skillet or medium pot; the oil should reach about 3 inches up the sides.
6
Heat the oil to around 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
7
On a lightly floured surface, roll the rested dough into a thin rectangle, about 1/8-inch thick.
8
Cut the dough into rectangles measuring around 4 inches by 3 inches.
9
Have your additional honey and apricot preserves ready for serving.
10
Line a plate with a few layers of paper towels for draining the fried sopapillas.
11
Reheat the oil to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
12
Fry the sopapillas, two to three at a time, in the hot oil for about a minute, flipping them over halfway through. Aim for a light golden brown color.
13
Drain the fried sopapillas on your prepared plate.
14
To keep sopapillas warm while frying the rest, you can place them in a preheated oven at 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
15
Serve the sopapillas hot, drizzled with honey and a spoonful of apricot preserves on the side.
