Honduran Buñuelos

Ingredients

 * 6 cups flour
 * 1 tsp. Sugar
 * 1 tsp. baking powder
 * 1 egg
 * 2 TBSP. shortening
 * water
 * 1/4 tsp. cinnamon
 * Frying oil

Directions

 * 1) Mix well the flour, baking powder and Sugar.
 * 2) Add the egg and shortening and mix until both are absorbed by the flour.
 * 3) Add water a little at a time until it becomes a dough consistency (like tortillas).
 * 4) Roll small balls of the dough (about 1/2 the size of your hand) into pancake-like shapes.
 * 5) Let them sit for awhile so they can dry a bit.
 * 6) This way they won't absorb too much oil when you fry them.
 * 7) Deep fry the buñuelos and sprinkle with cinnamon and Sugar. They should be nice and crisp.
