1½ cup flour
2 packages of yeast
½ tsp. cinnamon
1 cup warm water
1/3 cup sugar
2 tbsp. oil
½ tsp. salt
1 egg
½ vanilla
Additional flour 1½- 2 cups
Confectioners sugar
Jam for filling or chocolate chips for filling

Mix flour, yeast and cinnamon in one bowl. Mix water, sugar, oil and salt in another bowl. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients. Add egg and vanilla. Mix with electric mixer if you have one. Add additional flour to mixture until a dough forms. Turn dough onto floured surface and knead until soft. Roll a golf ball size piece of dough into a ball. Flatten into a circle by placing palm of hand on dough and pushing. Place a small amount of jam or chocolate in the center. Wet a finger with water and run along the edge of the circle. Fold the circle in half and squeeze the edges together so that the filling does not come out. Fry 5 doughnuts at a time in a deep frying pan on medium heat in an inch or 2 of oil. Fry about 2 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove from pan and drain on paper towels. Roll in confectioners sugar while still hot.
