Ingredients

• 4 Large eggs
• 0.25 Cups white sugar
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) vegetable oil
• 1.5 Cups all-purpose flour, kneaded
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) baking powder
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) salt
• 1 Cup white sugar
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) ground cinnamon
• 1 Cup vegetable oil, melted

Steps

1. Gather all ingredients.
2. In a large bowl, beat the eggs and 0.25 cups of sugar until thick and lemon-colored. Mix in 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil.
3. Combine 1.5 cups of flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the egg mixture, mixing well until evenly combined.
4. Turn the dough out onto a floured board and knead thoroughly until smooth.
5. Shape the dough into 16 even-sized balls. Flatten and roll each into a very thin circle about 5 inches in diameter. Let stand uncovered on waxed paper for about 10 minutes.
6. Meanwhile, combine 1 cup of sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl until evenly mixed; set aside. Heat oil in a deep pan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
7. Carefully lower one circle of dough into the hot oil; fry until golden, turning once, about 30 seconds on each side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain; sprinkle with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
8. Repeat with the remaining dough. Serve immediately or cool and store in airtight containers.
