Step 1
Mix flour, baking powder, and pinch of salt in a bowl. Stir in water until a thick, sticky dough forms.
Step 2
Combine sugar and cinnamon on a small plate. Set aside.
Step 3
Heat oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat until a wooden spoon dipped in sizzles immediately, ~3 minutes.
Step 4
Drop teaspoon-sized pieces of dough directly into hot oil, working in batches. Do not crowd the pan.
Step 5
Fry until bites are golden brown on all sides, turning occasionally with a slotted spoon, ~2 minutes total. Transfer to paper towels.
Step 6
While still warm, toss bites in cinnamon sugar until fully coated. Serve immediately.
