In a deep mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, butter, salt, orange juice, and water.

Knead the mixture approximately 25 times until a smooth dough forms.

Shape the dough into a ball and let it rest for 20 minutes.

Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to approximately 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).

Divide the dough into three equal portions.

On a well-floured surface, roll out one portion of the dough at a time as thinly as possible.

Cut the rolled dough into desired shapes (rectangles, diamonds, or circles).

Carefully place a few hojuelas at a time into the hot oil.

Fry until lightly golden brown on both sides, turning once during cooking.

Remove the fried hojuelas and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.

Roll the drained hojuelas in granulated sugar or drizzle with honey before serving.
