▲250 ml of water.

▲300 g of flour.

▲Sunflower oil.

▲A pinch of salt.

▲Three eggs.

▲Two tablespoons of sugar.

▲Put the dough in a pastry bag with a star pastry tip.

▲Pipe the dough from the pastry bag directly into the hot oil. You can make them as big as you want - just cut the end with a knife or scissors.

▲After they're done, leave them to dry on some kitchen paper. Then roll them in sugar and cinnamon.
