Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder (or 1 packet active dry yeast)

- Pinch of salt
- 1 tbsp rum (optional)
- 1/2 cup sparkling water (add more if needed)

- 1/4 cup raisins (optional)
- Oil for frying
Instructions:
- In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt.
