Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 0.25 cups white sugar
• 1 teaspoon vegetable oil

• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 cup vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

1. 1

   Gather all ingredients.

2. 2

   Beat eggs and 1/4 cup sugar in a large bowl until thick and lemon-colored; mix in 1 teaspoon vegetable oil.

3. 3

   Combine 1 ½ cups of flour, baking powder, and salt; gradually add to egg mixture, mixing well until evenly combined.

4. 4

   Turn dough out onto a floured board and knead thoroughly until dough is smooth.

5. 5

   Shape dough into 16 even-sized balls. Flatten and roll each one into a very thin circle about 5 inches in diameter. Let stand uncovered on waxed paper for about 10 minutes.

6. 6

   Meanwhile, combine 1 cup 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. 7

   Lower one circle of dough carefully 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 cinnamon-sugar mixture.

8. 8

   Repeat with remaining dough. Serve or cool and store in airtight containers.
