Kakes Gordos (Fried Dough Balls) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 egg
1/2 cup milk (See note)
oil (for frying)

Preparation

Heat oil in a frying pan (A fry daddy can be used).
Mix first 5 ingredients together.
Add milk to mixture NOTE: The amount of milk is just an approximation.
You want enough milk to make a batter thick enough to hold a ball shape in the oil, but thin enough to be able to get off of the spoon.
Drop by spoonfuls (I use a mixing spoonula) into hot oil.
Cook turning until no longer doughy inside and nice and golden outside.
Serve with either syrup, cinnamon sugar or powdered sugar.
