Ingredients
- 4 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
- 2 cups duros (dried wheat pasta twists)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prep the cinnamon sugar. In a large bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon until well mixed and evenly distributed.
- Heat the oil. In a deep pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C) so that the duros will puff quickly when fried.
- Fry the duros. Working in small batches, fry the duros for 5 to 10 seconds, or until they puff up and become light and crisp. Do not overcook; they should be pale and puffed rather than deeply golden.
- Drain briefly. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the puffed duros to paper towels and let drain for a few seconds to remove excess oil.
- Toss in cinnamon sugar. While still warm, immediately transfer the fried duros to the cinnamon sugar and toss to coat evenly.
- Serve. Serve right away for maximum crispness and flavor; best enjoyed fresh.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, pat the fried duros dry before tossing with sugar to remove excess moisture.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 1 day; they may lose some crunch over time.
- If you don’t have a deep fryer, you can use a heavy pot with at least 2 inches of oil, monitoring the temperature with a kitchen thermometer.
