Sopapillas (Latin American Quick Donuts)

1. 1

   In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment, mix the flour and yeast to combine. Add the salt and cinnamon and mix to combine.

2. 2

   Add the water and butter and mix on low speed until the dough comes together. Up the speed and continue to mix until the dough is smooth, 2 to 3 minutes.

3. 3

   Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl and let it rise, loosely covered, until double in size, about 1 hour.

4. 4

   Bring a large pot of oil to 350u00b0 F. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/2-inch thick. Cut into squares, then fry in batches until the squares are evenly golden and puffed. (They should be so puffy that there's a pocket of air in the center.)

5. 5

   Remove the sopapillas from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain briefly on absorbent paper towels. Toss in sugar to coat, and serve warm with honey to garnish.
