Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Duros (puffed wheat pasta)
- 4 cups Vegetable oil
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Ground cinnamon
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon until evenly combined. Set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large, heavy-bottomed pot to approximately 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the oil maintains a consistent temperature.
Carefully add a small handful of duros (puffed wheat pasta) to the hot oil. They will puff up quickly within 10-15 seconds. Fry in small batches to avoid overcrowding, as this ensures even cooking.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the puffed duros from the oil once fully expanded and lightly golden. Place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
While the twists are still warm, toss them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until they are evenly coated. Repeat this process with each batch.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container once cooled. Enjoy your crispy, sweet Taco Bell Style Cinnamon Twists!
