Instructions
1. Prepare the Batter
o In a mixing bowl, combine the pancake flour mix, all-purpose flour, sugar, and baking powder.

o Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
3. Fry the Pastries

4. Drain and Coat

o While still warm, roll each pastry in cinnamon sugar until fully coated.
5. Serve

Cooking and Serving Tips
• Customizations: Add a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom to the batter for extra flavor.
• Serving Suggestions: Pair with a side of warm chocolate sauce or dulce de leche for dipping.
• Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) to refresh their crispiness.
