Cinnamon fritters, a true delight for those who, like me, love cinnamon. These fritters are particularly good if served still warm, which is why I chose to make small portions, just for 4 people, to avoid leftovers. Of course, if there are any left, they’re not to be thrown away, eh! But if you can, prepare them on the spot and serve them warm, perhaps accompanied by a cup of tea or a steaming hot chocolate.

Preparation CINNAMON FRITTERS
Sift together the flour, cinnamon, and baking powder into a bowl. Add the sugar, egg, milk, and a pinch of salt. Mix everything, then pour the mixture onto a floured surface and knead well.
Form a ball, enclose it in a plastic food bag, or wrap it in a sheet of plastic wrap, and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
In due time, take the dough from the fridge and roll it out with a rolling pin on a floured surface until it reaches a thickness of about 1/8 inch. Cut the dough with a fluted wheel into pieces about 3/4 x 2 inches, then make small cuts in the center.
Heat the peanut oil in a pan and fry the fritters, a few at a time, until they have reached a nice golden color. As they are ready, remove them from the pan with a slotted spoon and place them on some sheets of absorbent paper to remove excess oil.
When you have finished frying, arrange the fritters in layers on a tray and sprinkle them with a mix of powdered sugar and ground cinnamon.
It is preferable to serve cinnamon fritters warm or lukewarm.
