Ingredients
- 4 cups oil for frying
- 2 cups unbleached all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon shortening
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup white sugar
Directions
Heat oil in deep fryer to 375.
In large bowl, sift together flour,baking powder and salt. Cut in 2 tablespoons shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually stir in water just until dough pulls together. Divide dough into 4 pieces and form each piece into a ball. Roll balls into 8 inch diameter circles. Cut each one into 8 wedges. In a large bowl, mix together cinnamon and sugar, set aside.
Fry wedges until they puff up and turn a light brown. Drain briefly, roll in the cinnamon and sugar and serve. They are good with a little honey or chocolate sauce to dip in. I like to top mine with a can of whip cream.
