Mix together the dry ingredients: flour, salt, and baking powder in a bowl using a whisk.

Melt lard in a pan until it's fully liquid.

Cut the melted lard into the dry ingredients using a pastry blender or your hands until it resembles small pieces.

Stir the mixture until it starts to form a dough, adding more lard if necessary.

Flour your hands to prevent the dough from sticking while handling it.

Knead the dough gently, being careful not to overwork it, until it comes together.

Cover the dough with plastic wrap or a towel and let it rest for a while before rolling it out.

Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about half an inch thick.

Cut the rolled dough into squares or triangles.

Heat lard in a deep pan for frying until hot.

Fry the cut dough pieces in the hot lard until they puff up and are golden brown on both sides.

Remove the fried sopapillas and drain on paper towels.

Serve warm with honey or sugar and cinnamon.
