2-3
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
- 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.

OK lets see...My name is Diane and I'm married to a wonderful guy -- going on 20 years. We have 2 kids -- 1 daughter and 1 son a 70lb german shepard, a fat cat and a very snobby cat! I work a couple of days a week in the Loop and the rest of my time is spent sitting at the kids sporting events. I love to try new recipes. Luckily, hubby will try just about anything. The kids aren't so eager about that, but are generally very good sports about it!
