serves/makes:

ready in:
1-2 hrs

ingredients

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (approximate)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon butter
3/4 cup warm milk (120 degrees F)
1 egg
1 teaspoon cinnamon, or to taste
1/2 cup sugar
vegetable oil for frying

directions

In a bowl, whisk the flour with the salt and baking powder.

Melt the butter in the milk. Beat it into the flour mixture along with the egg to form a firm dough, adding more milk if needed. Knead on a floured surface for a few minutes. Form into a ball, cover with a towel and set aside 1 hour.

On a floured surface, roll out dough about 1/3-inch thick. With a knife, pastry wheel or pizza cutter, cut into 1-by-3 inch rectangles.

In a heavy pot, heat about 4 inches of oil to 375 degrees F. Fry dough pieces, being careful not to crowd, until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

Stir cinnamon into sugar sprinkle over the still-hot rabbit ears.
