Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt

  • 1/4 cup Butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup Warm water

  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
  • In a separate small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon for the coating.
  • Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium heat.
  • Dip the dough squares into the cinnamon-sugar mixture, allowing excess to drip off.
