Ingredients
- 2 cups Duros (puffed wheat pasta)
- 4 cups Vegetable oil
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Ground cinnamon
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon until evenly combined. Set aside.
Step 2
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large, heavy-bottomed pot to approximately 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the oil maintains a consistent temperature.
Step 3
Carefully add a small handful of duros (puffed wheat pasta) to the hot oil. They will puff up quickly within 10-15 seconds. Fry in small batches to avoid overcrowding, as this ensures even cooking.
Step 4
Using a slotted spoon, remove the puffed duros from the oil once fully expanded and lightly golden. Place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 5
While the twists are still warm, toss them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until they are evenly coated. Repeat this process with each batch.
Step 6
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container once cooled. Enjoy your crispy, sweet Taco Bell Style Cinnamon Twists!
