Ingredients

• ½ cup granulated sugar
  
  

• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  
  

• 1 cup water
  
  

• 2 ½ tablespoons sugar
  
  

• ½ teaspoon salt
  
  

• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  
  

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
  
  

• Oil for frying
  
  

Directions

1. In a medium bowl or brown paper bag, combine ½ cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon; set aside.
   
   

2. Heat about 2½ inches of oil in a deep fryer or deep pan to 375°F (190°C).
   
   

3. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine water, 2½ tablespoons sugar, salt, and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat.
   
   

4. Stir in flour until the mixture forms a ball of dough.
   
   

5. Once dough is cool enough to handle, scoop and lightly roll it into walnut-sized balls.
   
   

6. Fry 3-4 dough balls at a time, avoiding overcrowding, until golden brown.
   
   

7. Remove from oil and immediately toss in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
   
   

8. Repeat with remaining dough and serve immediately.
