Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.75 cups Whole milk
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (for dusting)
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the cold cubed butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Using a small cookie scoop or two spoons, drop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough into the hot oil. Fry no more than 4-5 at a time to avoid overcrowding.
Fry the puffs for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and puffed up. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Let the puffs cool slightly, then roll them in a mixture of powdered sugar and ground cinnamon.
Serve warm and enjoy the light, fluffy texture of the Cinnamon Puffy Puffs!
