Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 7.6fl oz nestle media crema (or 225ml of milk: whole, 2% , 1% or skim)
  • 2 and 1/2 Tablespoon unsalted butter (softenned)
  • 1 medium egg
  • 3/4 cup of granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp pumpkin spice
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • canola oil for frying

Instructions
 

  • Combine and stir, flour, sugar, baking powder, pumpkin spice and cinnamon in a medium to large mixing bowl. Mix in softened butter.
  • Then crack in egg, and add milk. Use hands and mix until it forms a dough. Transfer to a smooth surface dusted with flour (large chopping board or granite counter top) and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth. Dough at this point is somewhat elastic
  • Cut dough into four. Dust surface with a little flow. Use a rolling pin (or pasta machine) and roll out dough into a 1/4 to 1/5 inch thick. Cut into desired shapes. To make squares, cut down then across. Use knife or hands dusted with some flour to remove from surface
  • Heat oil in a large/ deep fry pan. Leave about 2 inches or more from surface to prevent oil from bubbling over during frying.
  • Fry until golden brown. Let cool and enjoy. Can store in air tight container.
