Step 1
Mix flour, 2 tbsp sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon, and a pinch of salt in a large bowl.
Step 2
Add warm water and stir until shaggy dough forms. Let rest 2 minutes.
Step 3
Heat 2 inches of neutral oil in a heavy skillet to 350°F. Check with a thermometer.

Scoop dough into 1-inch balls using a cookie scoop or spoon, frying in batches until golden brown, ~2 minutes per batch. Don't crowd the pan.
