Preparation method
In a bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar until light and smooth.
Add the butter and milk, mixing well.
Add the salt and baking powder, incorporating them into the dough.
Add the wheat flour little by little, mixing until you obtain a soft, smooth dough that does not stick to your hands.
Form rolls, join ends to form donuts and set aside.
Fry in hot oil, but not too high, browning on both sides.
Remove, drain on paper towels and, if desired, roll in the still hot cinnamon sugar.
