Kakes Gordos (Fried Dough Balls)

Time: 10 mins

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)

Directions

• 1 Heat oil in a frying pan (A fry daddy can be used).
• 2 Mix first 5 ingredients together.
• 3 Add milk to mixture NOTE: The amount of milk is just an approximation.
• 4 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.
• 5 Drop by spoonfuls (I use a mixing spoonula) into hot oil.
• 6 Cook turning until no longer doughy inside and nice and golden outside.
• 7 Serve with either syrup, cinnamon sugar or powdered sugar.
