Directions
Dissolve the yeast in the 1 3⁄4 C. of water + 1/8 C. water for 5 minutes.
After 5 minutes, stir in the sugar, 3 vegetable oil, 2 cups of flour, salt and cinnamon. Mix well
but don't over mix.
Add in the other 2 1⁄2 C. of flour. The dough will be sticky and that is OK!
Knead the dough for 2-3 minutes and put back into the bowl. Cover with a towel for 40 minutes to
allow the dough to rise.
After 40 minutes heat about 2” of oil in large frying pan. Split the dough into 10-12 pieces and
flatten.
I rolled my pieces into balls and then flattened and stretched it out as much as I could
without ripping. You want to make them as thin as possible because they will puff up as soon as they hit the hot oil.
**I used the nonstick spray on my hands because the dough was sticky. 12 squirts of the non-stick spray and I could handle the dough a lot easier.
Fry the pieces one at a time in the hot oil for about 2-3 minutes – flipping once. Remove with
tongs and lay on paper towel. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon & sugar mixture.
