- 1/2 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 3 cups Vegetable oil (for frying) (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
Instructions
- 1In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- 2Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. This incorporates air into the batter.
- 3Mix in the milk and baking powder until just combined.
- 4Gradually add the flour, mixing until a soft dough forms. Add more flour if needed to achieve a rollable consistency. Stir in the cinnamon.
- 5On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough to 1/2 inch thickness. Cut into strips that are 1 inch wide and 3 inches long.
- 6Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the cruller strips in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
