Ingredients

• ½ cup granulated sugar (for coating)
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 cup water
• 2½ tablespoons granulated sugar (for dough)
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• Oil for frying (vegetable or canola oil work great)
• Instructions:
• 1. Prepare the Cinnamon-Sugar Coating:
• In a bowl or brown paper bag, mix ½ cup sugar with 1 tsp cinnamon. Set aside.
• 2. Heat the Frying Oil:
• In a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot, heat 2½ inches of oil to 375°F (190°C).
• 3. Make the Dough:
• In a saucepan, combine water, 2½ tbsp sugar, salt, and vegetable oil.
• Bring to a boil over medium heat, then remove from heat.
• Stir in the flour until the dough forms a smooth ball.
• 4. Form the Poppers:
• Let dough cool slightly.
• Roll into small balls about the size of walnuts.
• 5. Fry:
• Fry 3–4 balls at a time in hot oil until golden brown, about 2–3 minutes, turning as needed.
• Remove with a slotted spoon and immediately toss in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
• 6. Serve:
• Serve warm and fresh with optional dipping sauces like chocolate ganache, dulce de leche, or even cream cheese glaze.
• Tips for Success:
• Don’t overcrowd the fryer—fry in small batches for even cooking.
• Keep your oil at a steady 375°F for the perfect crisp.
• If the dough feels sticky, lightly flour your hands before rolling.
• Want a fun twist? Add a dash of nutmeg or cardamom to the cinnamon-sugar mix.
• Serving Suggestions & Pairings:
• Hot chocolate, chai tea, or cinnamon-spiced coffee
• A dessert platter alongside Rainbow Sprinkle Cookies for extra color and fun
• A side of Brownie Batter Dip as a rich, indulgent dip
• Caramel Apple Pie Cookies for a full fall dessert spread
• Or go bold and pair with Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Brownie Bombs
• Storage & Reheating:
• Best served fresh, but they’ll keep in an airtight container at room temp for 1–2 days
• Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 5 minutes to bring back the crisp
• Avoid the microwave—it softens the exterior too much
