🌰 1 dessert spoon ground cinnamon (Brand: Margão Canela Moída)
🌻 1 cup cooking oil (Brand: Pura Girassol)

Instructions

1- Preparation:

Crack 3 eggs into a large mixing bowl.
Add 1 cup of white sugar to the eggs.

2- Mixing:

Using an electric hand mixer, beat the eggs and sugar together until the mixture becomes homogeneous and pale yellow in color.

Add the whole packet of vanilla flavoring, ground cinnamon, and baking powder to the egg mixture.
Blend all ingredients well with the electric mixer until the batter is light brown and speckled with cinnamon.

4- Incorporating Oil:

Slowly pour in 1 cup of cooking oil, mixing continuously until fully incorporated.

5- Forming the Dough:

Gradually add wheat flour to the mixture, stirring continuously until a smooth, non-sticky dough forms.

6- Resting the Dough:

Cover the mixing bowl with a cloth or plastic wrap and let the dough rest for 30 minutes to enhance the texture.

Roll the dough into small uniform balls.
Place the dough balls into the waffle maker.
