Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (plus more for frying)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, combine water and vegetable oil over medium heat until boiling. Stir in flour and vanilla extract until it forms a ball of dough.
- Remove from heat and let the dough cool for about 10 minutes.
- Heat enough vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat to allow the poppers to float while frying.
- Transfer the cooled dough to a piping bag with a star tip and pipe small pieces (about two inches long) directly into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, approximately 2-3 minutes per side.
- Remove from oil using a slotted spoon and toss immediately in the cinnamon-sugar mixture while warm.
- Place on paper towels to absorb excess oil before serving.
