Step 1
Mix flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt in a bowl, then whisk in milk until you have a thick, batter-like dough.
Step 2
Heat oil in a heavy skillet or shallow pot to 350°F over medium-high heat (water flick should sizzle immediately).
Step 3
Spoon small, walnut-sized blobs of dough into hot oil, working in batches—don't crowd the pan.
Step 4
Fry 60–90 seconds per side until golden brown and puffed, turning once with a fork.
Step 5
Mix cinnamon and sugar on a plate, then roll warm bites in the mixture while still hot.
Step 6
Serve immediately on a plate lined with paper towels to catch any excess oil.
