4 eggs
1/4 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

flour) and knead thoroughly until dough is smooth.
3. Shape dough into sixteen balls. Roll each one into a circle

Fry circles until golden brown, turning once. Drain on paper
towels. Sprinkle with sugar/cinnamon mixture. Store airtight.
