Directions:
1. In a large bowl, mix warm milk, warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
2. Add flour, salt, softened butter, and egg. Mix until a soft dough forms. Knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
3. Cover and let dough rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
4. Roll out dough on a floured surface to about 1/4-inch thickness. Cut into circles or ovals using a cutter or glass.
5. Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Fry dough pieces in batches for 1–2 minutes per side until golden.
6. Remove and drain on paper towels. While still warm, coat in cinnamon-sugar mixture.
7. Serve warm and enjoy!
