Dough should not be stiff but not thin, right when batter won't drop from spoon.

Let rise in a warm place for 1 hour. Turn onto floured surface and pat with fingers to 1/4 inch thickness. Let stand 1/2 hour.

Mix cinnamon and sugar in small bag, to your taste. Set aside.

Cut in any shape or with a cutter 2 1/2 inches to 2 inches in diameter. Pull so center is thinner.

Deep fat fry till golden brown. Set on brown paper bag for a minute, to remove excess oil.

These are equally delicious served at any temperature.
