Heat the oil in a deep skillet until it begins to bubble. Using a teaspoon, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the oil. The batter will flatten into disks as it fries. turn over once, using a wooden spoon; once both sides are golden brown and crispy, remove with a slotted spatula. Drain on a paper towel.
Dust liberally with powdered sugar. Drizzle with cinnamon syrup and serve with fruit and toasted nuts.
Eat immediately! Serves 2 to 4.
Cinnamon Syrup In a small saucepan, combine the water, sugar, lime juice and cinnamon sticks. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, and simmer for 5 minutes, until the mixture is glossy and viscous. Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes. Strain to remove cinnamon pieces.
