  • Cuisine: Spanish

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 ½ tablespoons sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

 

  • Oil for frying

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl or brown paper bag, combine the 1/2 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon; set aside.
  • Heat about 2 1/2 inches of oil in a deep fryer to 375°F.
  • Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the water, 2 1/2 tablespoons sugar, salt, and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Bring the mixture to a boil, then remove from heat. Stir in the flour until the mixture forms a ball.
  • When the dough is cool enough to handle, scoop and lightly roll it into balls about the size of walnuts.
  • Fry 3-4 dough balls at a time, being sure not to overcrowd the pan, until golden brown. Remove from the oil and immediately shake or stir in the reserved cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  • Remove to a plate while you repeat the process with the remaining dough.

 

  • Serve immediately.

Notes

  • While these little treats are delicious on their own, you can dip them into chocolate sauce, melted Nutella, caramel sauce, or dulce de leche for extra flavor.
  • A cookie scoop helps keep the poppers uniform in size, but you can also use a rounded measuring spoon.

 

  • When rolling these, use a gentle roll—just enough to form a ball.
