Ingredients
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup water
- 2 ½ tablespoons granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- In a medium bowl or a brown paper bag, mix together ½ cup of sugar and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Set aside.
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot to 375°F, ensuring it is about 2½ inches deep.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the water, 2½ tablespoons of sugar, salt, and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Bring the mixture to a boil, then remove it from the heat. Stir in the flour until a dough forms a cohesive ball.
- Once the dough is cool enough to handle, scoop and gently roll it into balls about the size of walnuts. Fry 3-4 dough balls at a time, taking care not to overcrowd the pan, until they are golden brown. Remove the fried dough balls from the oil and immediately coat them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture by shaking them in the prepared bowl or bag. Transfer to a plate and repeat the process with the remaining dough.
- Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
