Step 1
Mix cinnamon and sugar in a shallow bowl. Set aside.
Step 2
Stack phyllo sheets and brush each lightly with melted butter.
Step 3
Cut phyllo stack into 2-inch squares. Crumple each square into a loose ball.
Step 4
Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium-high until a phyllo piece sizzles immediately on contact, ~2 minutes.
Step 5
Fry phyllo balls in batches 60 seconds per side until golden brown and crispy. Don't crowd the pan.
Step 6
Drain on paper towels, then toss in cinnamon sugar while still warm.
