Step 1
Add the milk, ¼ cup of the sugar, and the yeast to a large bowl. Stir to combine. Let sit for 5 minutes, or until it starts to bubble.
Step 2
Stir in the butter, 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon, and the salt to combine.
Step 3
Add 5 cups of the flour and stir until you can no longer. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
Step 4
Knead the dough for 5 minutes, adding a light dust of flour when it becomes too sticky to handle, but don’t overdo it. You want the dough to be tacky but not sticky.
Step 5
Scrape out any flour bits from the bowl, spray with nonstick spray, and place the dough in the bowl. Cover and let sit for 1 hour, until doubled in size.
Step 6
Heat 2 inches of oil in a deep-frying pan over medium heat until it reaches 265°F.
Step 7
In the meantime, divide the dough into 15 equal balls and roll each out into a roughly 7-inch round.
Step 8
Fry one disk at a time for 3-4 minutes, flipping the disk every 30-45 seconds to ensure even cooking.
Step 9
Let them cool on a plate with a paper towel to drain off any excess oil.
Step 10
Stir the remaining sugar and cinnamon together in a shallow bowl or a plate then dip each disk in the dough and lightly tap off the excess. Serve and enjoy!
