Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the flour and sugar until well combined.
  3. Add the oil, egg whites, and rum to the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms.
  4. Roll the dough out on a floured surface to a thickness of about 1/4 inch.
  5. Use a round cutter or glass to cut out circles, then fold each circle into a triangle.
  6. Place a small amount of cinnamon sugar filling in the center of each triangle before sealing.
  7. Pinch the edges firmly to seal the filling inside, ensuring no gaps remain.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the edges are lightly golden brown.
