Brazilian Cinnamon Sugar Fried Dough Balls
Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 cup milk
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 level tablespoon baking powder
Optional coating
- granulated sugar
- ground cinnamon
Preparation
Whisk the egg, sugar, and salt together in a large bowl until well combined
Add the milk, flour, and baking powder, and mix until just combined
Heat oil in a deep fryer or skillet over medium heat
Drop small spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil
Fry until golden brown, turning occasionally
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels
While still warm, roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture
Tips
The oil should be at medium heat: not too hot to prevent raw centers and not too cold to avoid greasy doughnuts
Some people enjoy serving with condensed milk on top
