"This recipe is from mis-recetas.org, a food blog. These portuguese fritters are like little donuts that are light, airy and dusted in cinnamon sugar. They are remarkably like a Mexican churro in both method and ingredients, only a different shape. Easy to make, too! These are excellent with your afternoon tea or coffee... but careful cuz they're addicting!!!"
