  6. Step 6Shape and fry fritters

    If you don't have a piping bag, take two dessert spoons, grease them with cold oil so the dough doesn't stick, shape round fritters and fry them in not-too-large batches, since the dough grows a lot when fried.

  7. Step 7Move the fritters

    Keep moving the fritters while they fry so they puff up.

  8. Step 8Drain on paper

    Drain the fritters on absorbent paper.

  9. Step 9Coat in cinnamon sugar

    Roll the still-warm fritters in a mixture of sugar and ground cinnamon.
