Step 1
Mix flour, milk, egg, and a pinch of salt until you have a thick, smooth batter. Let it rest 5 minutes.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, combine cinnamon and sugar. Set aside. Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Dip a cone or cylindrical wooden mold into the batter to coat evenly on all sides, leaving the tip exposed.
Step 4
Slide the mold into hot oil and fry 2–3 minutes, rotating gently, until golden and crispy all over.
Step 5
Remove from oil and slide the pastry off the mold onto a plate. Brush generously with melted butter.
Step 6
Roll the warm pastry in the cinnamon-sugar mix, coating all sides. Sprinkle chopped nuts if using. Serve warm.
