Fried Cinnamon Strips

Ingredients

  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (plus more for sprinkling)
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • ½ cup warm water
  • Oil for frying
  • ½ cup confectioners’ sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. This is the foundation of your crispy heaven!
  2. Add the melted butter gradually while mixing. Then, pour in the warm water little by little until a dough forms. Get ready to knead your way to deliciousness—this dough shouldn’t be sticky, but pliable!
  3. Once your dough is ready, let it rest for about 15 minutes. You deserve a break, and so does that dough! Stretch and relax, just like it’s about to do.
  4. After the break, roll out the dough on a floured surface until it’s about ¼ inch thick. Cut into strips. Think of them as the swanky new shape of your cinnamon love!
  5. In a deep frying pan, heat the oil over medium heat. It’s time for the strips to sizzle! Carefully fry your strips in batches until they turn golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Make sure to channel your inner frying artist!
  6. Once fried to perfection, remove them and let them drain on paper towels. Now, here comes the best part: sprinkle with a mix of confectioners’ sugar and a bit of cinnamon as they’re still warm!
  7. Serve up these delightful strips warm and watch as everyone dives in! They are perfect for sharing, but let’s be honest—who are we kidding? You might want to keep a few for yourself!

There you have it! The ultimate recipe for Fried Cinnamon Strips that are not just a treat for your taste buds, but also showcase your culinary skills. Enjoy your crispy creations and don’t forget to share the joy (or hoard them all for yourself). Either way, it’s a win!
