Steps

30 minutes

1

Sift the flour by passing the all-purpose flour through a fine-mesh strainer. Add the ground cinnamon to the flour and mix.
2

Add the sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and egg. You can adjust the amount of sugar and cinnamon to taste if you want them sweeter or with more cinnamon flavor.
3

Mix everything well until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. If the batter is thicker, the torrejas will turn out denser.
4

Heat oil over medium heat, then add the batter little by little to form the arepuelas.
5

Remove when golden brown on both sides and place on a paper towel to absorb excess oil. That's it!
6

Serve with scrambled eggs if you like, and for extra sweetness, sprinkle with sugar.
