Instructions
- In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together milk and egg until smooth.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently to form a soft batter.
- Heat oil in a deep pan to 170–180°C.
- Drop small spoonfuls of batter into the hot oil.

- Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- Mix sugar and cinnamon in a bowl for coating.
- Roll warm donut bites in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.

Notes
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the texture light and fluffy.
- Ensure oil is at the correct temperature to avoid greasy or undercooked bites.
- Best served fresh for optimal taste and texture.
- Can be baked at 180°C for a lighter version, though less crispy.
- Add vanilla extract or citrus zest for extra flavor.
- Store at room temperature for up to 2 days in an airtight container.
- Reheat in oven for best results; avoid prolonged microwaving.
