1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
6 tablespoons sugar, divided
1 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons ground cinnamon, divided
2 tablespoons shortening
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons cold water
Shortening for deep frying
Combine flours, 2 tablespoons sugar, salt, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a bowl. Cut in Crisco with a pastry blender or 2 knives. Add water, 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time, mixing until dry ingredients are moistened and a soft dough is formed.
Pinch off pieces of dough I and shape into 1-inch balls. Roll each on a lightly floured surface into a 3-inch round.
Heat Crisco to 365°F in a deep saucepan or deep fryer. Fry, one at a time in hot Crisco for 1 minute. Turn and fry for 1 minute longer (will be puffed and lightly browned). Drain on paper towels. Blend remaining 4 tablespoons sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon. Sprinkle over warm puffs.
