Instructions

1
Mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk in eggs, water, and vegetable oil until a smooth, thin batter forms — thinner than pancake batter. Let rest 10 minutes.
2
Heat oil in a deep pot to 375°F. Using a ladle or large spoon, drizzle the batter into the hot oil in circular patterns to create lacy, irregular discs about 5–6 inches wide. Fry one at a time for 1–2 minutes per side until light golden and very crispy.
3
Drain immediately on paper towels and while still hot, sprinkle generously with the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Serve warm with piloncillo syrup or honey for dipping. These are best eaten immediately as they lose their crunch quickly.
